ness ecarlate was the sacred color of the

the cheek of the young warrior. Vert
was the green of the. emerald, and gules
was rose-colored, from the Persian word
gull rose azure was the clear, sacred
blue of the sky, typical of the joys of
heaven. The ruby and sapphire were, in

produced the Pufpura, or purple, which
formed the covering of the tabernacle
