The purple robe placed upon Jesus during His Passion, in the eyes of Roman Catholic tradition, is more than a relic of mockery; it is a profound symbol. It encapsulates the paradox of Christ’s kingship—humiliated yet exalted, suffering yet triumphant. Through Scripture, liturgy, art, and devotion, the Church continues to contemplate this moment, drawing from it both a call to humility and a proclamation of hope: that in the apparent defeat of Calvary, true glory is hidden, awaiting its full revelation.
