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.
