Lenten Purple : 1

Purple vestments
At the beginning of this Holy Season, we are pleased to re-present images of penitential vestments in the liturgical colour purple.

Earlier this week, we republished a study of the colours used by the Church throughout its history during the Penitential Seasons.

The vestments in this post were made from an English ecclesiastical brocade, in a shade of Roman purple and lined with a taffeta deep-red in colour.  The vestments were ornamented with the Studio's unique braid Lux Aeterna in colours of black and taup and a narrow galloon of the same colours.
