What does the color Red and white represent on a preachers robe?

Answer 1

Generally white, however depending upon the classification of the preacher they could wear black, purple, red However... at least 50% of all preachers do not wear a robe at all. It should be more about the message than what they wear.

Answer 2

Priests do not normally participate in a harvest and, if they were to do so, would surely not wear their priestly robes. During the harvest season the priest will wear the color vestment dictated by the feast celebrated on a particular day for Mass.

Answer 3

Some churches e.g. Catholic and Anglican, use different coloured robes; the colour depends on the season. Here's an explanation: Red: represents love + fire (feasts of the Holy Spirit) and blood (feasts of saints who were martyred) Purple: represents repentance (used during Lent and possibly Advent) as well as sorrow (used at funerals) Blue: represents motherhood (used on feasts of Mary and in some places also during Advent as a sign of preparing to celebrate the birth of Christ) White: represents joy (used for feasts of Christ, Mary, saints who are not martyrs. Also during Christmas and Easter. May be used for funerals to emphasise the resurrection of the dead). Gold: represents joy and may be used during major celebrations such as on Easter Sunday and Christmas. Black:represents mourning and is used in funerals, depending on (a) culture (b) wishes of the family

Answer 4

Catholic AnswerIt all depends. The normal "robe" for a diocesian priest would be a black cassock, also called a soutane. The robe for a Benedictine would also be black, a Francisican usually wears a brown robe, although Franciscans of the Renewal wear grey and First Order Francisans wear black, etc. All priests wear a white alb over their street clothes when they begin to vest for Mass, as that represents the seamless robe of Our Blessed Lord. If you are asking about the colored vestments that they wear at Mass, then you need to ask about vestments not robes.

Catholic AnswerThe Ordo gives them a choice of white, violet, or black. Normally, in the pre-Vatican II Rite they wore black for an adult, and white for a child. In the post-Vatican II Rite they pretty much always wear white for everybody.
