Purple, the color of royalty, repentance, and self-discipline, is the traditional color for the season of Lent.http://www.stpaulskingsville.org/lent.htm#WHAT%20IS%20THE%20LITURGICAL%20COLOR%20FOR%20LENT? The reason why the colour purple is used during Great Lent is because The Bible tells us that Pilate and his soldiers placed a purple robe on Jesus, just before His crucifixion. (Mark 15:16-20) "...they put on Him a purple robe. Then they said, Hail, King of the Jews!" (John 19:1-5).
