Why is purple the color of Lent?

Why is purple the color of Lent?



The liturgical color for Lent is traditionally purple. Why purple? During Lent we prepare for the coming of Good Friday and the Resurrection. Purple historically represents mourning (the mourning of the death of our Lord) and royalty (the Resurrection of Christ and His reign of His kingdom).
