The Order of Our Lady of Mount Carmel

The Carmelite Order, sometimes simply Mount Carmel by synecdoche, or in Latin Ordo fratrum Beatæ Virginis Mariæ de monte Carmelo, is the name of an cloistered Catholic religious order founded in the 12th century by a group of Europeans led by a man commonly called Saint Bertold (d. after 1185) on Mount Carmel, whence the order receives its name.
