Purple is the liturgical colour for lent and advent. The colour represents preparation, penitence and prayer. Purple can symbolise pain and suffering, and mourning and penitence so it fits the themes of lenten time. It is also the color of royalty so it is also used during Advent as we prepare to welcome the king at Christmas.
Bishops, like priests, wear the liturgical color of the season which could be green, violet or white or red for special feast days. The normal color for a bishop when he is not vested for a liturgical ceremony is black with purple trim and zucchetto.
.
Catholic AnswerThe bishop, like any priest offering the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, wears whatever color is called for by the feast. White is called for on feasts of saints, Our Blessed Lord (except for His Passion), and Our Blessed Lady; also on feasts of the Holy Trinity, etc. Gold may be substituted for any color if the occasion is sufficiently solemn.Add your answer:
