SYMBOLIC MEANING oFrHE CoIoRs-
NhSfa i IL

oiM6oLlC MEANING OF THE COLoRs.--
White! was the emblem of light, reli.
gious purity, innocence, faith, ioy ana
life. In the judge, it indicates integrity
IN the sick man, humility; in women,
chastity. Red, the ruby, signified FIRE
divine love, the Holy Spirit, heart Of the
creative power and royalty white and
red roses express love and wisdom, as in
the garland, with which the ancients
crowned st. Cecilia; in another sense
red signifies blood, war, hatred and pun
ishment; red and black combined were
the eolors of purgatory. Blue, or the
sapphire, expressed heaven and the fima.
ment, truth, constancy and fidelity. Vel.
low, or gold, was the symbol of the sun.
of the goodness of God, of imitation or
marriage, faith or faithfulness: in the
picture of the Apostles, ST. Peter wears
a yellow mantle over blue tupic vel.
low also signifies Inconsistency, jealousy,
deceit; in this sense it was given to-
Judas, who Is generally habited in vel
low. Green, the emerald, is the color of
spring, hope, particularly hope of i'm
mortality, and of victory, as the color of
palm and laurel, Violet the amethyst
signified love and truth, or passion and
suffering; hence, it is the color often
worn by the martyrs. Black expressed
the earth, darkness. mourning, wicked
ness, negation, death; and it was appro-
pirate to the Prince of Darkness in
some old iHuminatedsmanuscript Jesus
in the temptation, wore q. black rome d
white and black together signify purity
OF life, and mourning or humiliation.
