Notes on the History of the Liturgical Colors (1882)

""Notes On The History Of The Liturgical Colors"" is a book written by John Wickham Legg and originally published in 1882. The book explores the history and significance of the colors used in Christian liturgy, including their origins, symbolism, and evolution over time. Legg draws on a wide range of sources, including biblical texts, early Christian writings, medieval manuscripts, and contemporary liturgical practices, to trace the development of the use of liturgical colors from the early church to the present day. The book is divided into chapters that focus on each of the major liturgical colors, including white, red, green, purple, and black, and provides detailed information on their use in different seasons and feasts. Legg's writing is scholarly and well-researched, making this book an important resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian worship and liturgy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
