Kilted Clergy Question

[Bugbear]

Pipesndrumsnun, you said a "purple kilt" in your first post. Does purple have a meaning in your faith? I'm also wondering what the blue, white, and black in the clergy tartan mean if anything. The colors would have meaning in mine if they are being used for spiritual work.

* I'm sorry again that I posted here, butI kind of wanted to understand why the colors were important. Hope I haven't caused any trouble.

Ted,

The colours refer to the Church year. Some churches (Roman Catholic, Episcopalian/Anglican, Lutheran, etc.) divide the year into different seasons which are represented by different colours. These colours are used in vestements and in the church itself (on the altar, pulpits, lecterns, etc.)

For example, purple is traditionally associated with the season of Lent.
