History: We know that in 1870 the Imperial Prince wore, like his father, a scapular of Our Lady of Victories: "When the prince left for the army, several very distinct feelings manifested themselves in him: the faith of the Christian who rises first to God at the moment of danger. The day before his departure for Metz, he went to confession, heard mass and received holy communion, went to pray at Notre-Dame des Victoires and put on the scapular... To each soldier of the 20th voltigeurs he went to give, himself, a blessed medal of Notre Dame des Victoires" Related work: -Scapular of his father, the Emperor Napoleon III, with the same model.
