| If you study the Bible, you will find that colors have a meaning. The color PURPLE means ROYALTY or wealth. In olden times, the color purple was hard to get. It was made from a substance that came from a tiny snaillike animal. It took over 60,000 snails to produce one pound of dye. Can you see why this purple dye was so expensive, and that only wealthy people could afford it? Usually only Kings and Queens would wear purple clothing. Proverbs 31:22 talks about the virtuous woman: "She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple." Before Jesus went to the cross, they put a purple robe on Him and made fun of Him. That's because they didn't really believe that He was a King. So purple stands for ROYALTY. |
