(5.) The priests, at the consecration of the Temple, were "arrayed in white linen" (2 Chron. v, 12). In the fourth century the priests of the Christian Church wore white garments while performing their offices. In the Romish Church white is yet retained for the alb, the cope, the amice, etc., and in the entire priestly Ugg Tassel Boots garments on the festivals of the Nativity, Epiphany, Easter, etc. In the Church of England the white surplice of the Romish Church isretained.

From its intensity and fixedness this color is also used to Ugg Classic Short Boots symbolize what is indelible or deeply engrained (Isa. i, 18).

Hebrew Symbolical Significance of Colors.— Throughout antiquity color occupied an important place in the symbology both of sentiment and of worship. Of the analogies on which these symbolical meanings were founded, some lie on the surface, while others are more recondite. Thus white was everywhere the symbol of purity and the emblem of iwoeence; hence it was the dress of the high-priest on Ae day of atonement, his holy dress (Lev. xvi, 4,32); tt» angels, as holy (Zech. xiv, 5; Job xv, 15), appear inb£v), and in the Greek \auirpa (Luke- xxiii, 11), com-1 white clothing (Mark xvi, 5; John xx, 12); and th« pared with Kotxivn (Matt, xxvii, Discount Ugg Boots 28).

The process of doubledying was, however, peculiar to the Tyrian purples (Plin. ix, 39). The dye was produced from an insect, somewhat resembling the cochineal, which is found in considerable quantities in Armenia and other Eastern countries. The Arabian name of the insect is hermez (whence crimson); the Linmean name is Coccus ilicis. It frequents the boughs of a species of ilex: on these it lays its eggs in groups, which become covered with a kind of Ugg Bailey Button Boots down, so that they present the appearance of vegetable galls or excrescences from the tree itself, and are described as such by Pliny, xvi, 12. The dye is procured from the female grub alone, which, when alive, is about the size of a kernel of a cherry, and of a dark amaranth color, but when dead shrivels up to the size of a grain of wheat, and is covered with a bluish mould (Parrot's Journey to Ararat, p. 114). The general character of the color is expressed by the Hebrew term ^lan, ckamuts' (Isa. lxiii, 1), lit. sharp, and hence dazzling (compare the
