The book traces the evolution of vestments, thrones, and altar textiles, linking everyday church life to broader cultural shifts. It uses historical records to illustrate why certain colours came to symbolize particular events, saints, or liturgical seasons, and how these practices varied across places and centuries.
- Clear explanations of terms for altar frontals, canopies, and hanging textiles
- Descriptions of colour sequences used in major feasts and seasons
- Examples from inventories and church records that illuminate practice
- Discussion of symbolism and the practical reasons behind color choices
Ideal for readers interested in medieval and early modern church history, liturgical art, and the long tradition of Christian colour symbolism.
