“Purple is used for two reasons: firstly because it is associated with mourning and so anticipates the pain and suffering of the crucifixion, and secondly because purple is the colour associated with royalty, and celebrates Christs resurrection and sovereignty.” http://www.bbc.co.uk/…/lent.shtml Grandma, some things I feel I should not joke about they are just to serious for my usual rambling inanities, and purple is one of them.
