Who were the high priests that wantd Jesus dead?

Caiaphas (Yehosef bar Caiapha) was the high priest who presided over the trial that would eventually end in Jesus death (John 11:49-53). But it was not just Caiaphas but also the chief priests and older men acting as leaders among the Jewish people who would also colluded with Caiaphas (Matthew 26:3-4).

There concern was that Jesus would take away there self-assumed positions of authority over the people. At John 11:47-48 we read: "Consequently the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the San′he‧drin together and began to say: "What are we to do, because this man performs many signs? If we let him alone this way, they will all put faith in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."

After bringing Jesus before Roman authorities on false charges, even when the Roman governor Pontius Pilate attempted to release Jesus it was the word of the common Jewish people who would seal his fate:

"Well, from festival to festival he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they petitioned for. At the time there was the so-called Bar‧ab′bas in bonds with the seditionists, who in their sedition had committed murder. So the crowd came on up and started to make petition according to what he used to do for them. Pilate responded to them, saying: "Do YOU want me to release to YOU the king of the Jews?" For he was aware that because of envy the chief priests had handed him over.

"But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Bar‧ab′bas to them, instead. Again in reply Pilate was saying to them: "What, then, shall I do with him whom YOU call the king of the Jews?" Once more they cried out: "Impale him!" But Pilate went on to say to them: "Why, what bad thing did he do?" Still they cried out all the more: "Impale him!" At that Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Bar‧ab′bas to them, and, after having Jesus whipped, he handed him over to be impaled. (Mark 15:6-15)

What is on the priest's ring?

There is no specific design or device on rings worn by Priests as ministry rings. In the early Middle Ages such rings were usually worn with a blue stone to represent heaven and, once dioceses became solvent enough to provide rings for their Bishops the use of Amethyst became common, that being the norm today. Interestingly enough, Amethyst was thought by the ancients to help curb the sins of excess [perhaps a statement about the prevalence of naughty bishops in those days?], although now the common understanding is that the Purple color is used to represent the Priestly kingship of Christ and the Bishop as his representative on earth. Local customs vary, but there is no specific rule for either Anglicans or Roman Catholics when it comes to type, color, or material for ecclesiastical rings. Some Orthodox wear such rings, but again, there are no hard and fast rules.

What does it mean when you dream about a priest in pink?

It means you dream about a king and his daughter......... or a King who loves pink and has a pink palace...... maybe for his Queen.....

This dream is difficult to interpret meaningfully with such limited information. More importantly, there does not appear to be any reason to associate the priest in the description with a king of any sort.

> A "priest" could refer to many different types of religious official, from a Lutheran or Episcopal or Roman Catholic clergy person to a Vouduan shaman. The color pink is generally associated with femininity in the U.S., but that might not be significant since outside of Catholicism, a priest might be male or female, and the color pink has different meanings in different cultures.

What do Maronite priest wear?

Maronite priests up until the Second Vatican Council wore Latin-style vestments. Now they are going back more toward the Syriac vestments of their forebears, this is from the Catholic Answers website, also see the link below the answer box for pictures.

Actually there is no more than a tangential relation to the Chaldean style. The Maronite style is almost identical to the SOC/SCC, and includes the phaino ("cope"), zonouro (belt), hamnicho (stole which is either one single piece or, more commonly, two connected, similar to the Byzantine epitrachelion), amice (for a priest sometimes appareled, sometimes not, depending on the individual, but always appareled for a bishop). The cuffs are (unfortunately) optional. Bishops add the batersheel (analagous to the omophorion).

The Chaldeans (and the ACoE), OTOH, use what is almost (if not absolutely) identical to a Latin cope (including fringe on the flat hood), and a Latin-style (i.e. unconnected) stole. They do not wear the cuffs, nor (for the sake of simplicity, what I'll call) the appareled amice.
