Carmel Convent Senior Secondary School

Carmelite followers got this name from the name of Mount Carmel located in the Holy Land of Israel. These were the people who were living on this mountain since ancient times, their life was being spent in solitude and prayer. In the Second Book of Kings in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible, it is said about the Prophet Elijah that “The Prophet Elijah was a man in whose heart the fire of love for God always burned. Prophet Elijah reached the supreme presence of the Lord by adopting the principle of solitude and prayer on Mount Carmel, where he adopted the words of the Lord and taught people to believe in the true God. The present Carmel family started from this Mount Carmel family. The icon of the Carmel family is Mother Mary, the mother of Lord Jesus Christ. She always provides safety and protection to the Carmelite children under her canopy. Rise of the Carmel family in India.
