Purple is identified with suffering sacrifice ( E.g. Purple Heart) and also Passion. It is only logical to be used in lenten bestments. Some years ago minor flak was risen up about a radio and television ad for a soda that went Purple Passion is fun to drink. They thought it was mildly sacrilegious, not really, but. by the way Passion is used here in the theological context only- nothing off-color. Purple is identified with suffering sacrifice ( E.g.

Depends on the liturgical color. But there are standard colors for confession (purple) and baptism (white) etc.
For a Catholic marriage, a nuptial Mass is celebrated. The occasion is one of celebration and thus the priest wears white vestments to reflect the spirit of the ceremony. A priest's stole is therefore white.
Purple is a color of royalty. Dragonflies symbolize good luck. A purple dragonfly tattoo is therefore a very good tattoo to have.
royal and rich
It is simply a small stole, usually purple on one side (used for confession, anointing, etc.) and white on the other (for other sacraments and rituals).
when the minister/priest already wearing the stole
Purple Roses mean "Enchantment" Love at first sight
The priest wears an alb ( usually white) that goes from neck to toe; over the alb he wears a vestment called a chasuble. If not wearing the chasuble he will wear stole over the alb. The chasuble and stole are the colors of the season.
Feathers symbolize lightness, truth, and flight. A purple feather symbolizes deep spirituality, mystic insight, and bring a higher connection to the universe.
If you mean the liturgical vestment worn around the shoulders of priests as they administer the sacraments it is called a 'stole'.
It symbolizes the beautiful purple folowers in the fields, and hoe they made someone who is aching, smile. =]
well, a priest wears his stole over his shoulders under his robe, a deacon wears it over one shoulder to show he is a deacon not a priest.
