What's Your Favourite Color Habit?

[Veritas]

+

The colors of the habit are significant , e.g., blue is the color of Mary and often symbolizes devotion to her, pink signifies the Holy Spirit, maroon signifies the blending of blue for Our Lady and red for Our Lord's Passion.

I was torn between brown (because of Carmel), maroon (because of the beautiful combination), blue (for Our Lady) and pink (for the Holy Spirit). Ultimately I chose pink, because I feel that the Holy Spirit encompasses all those other things, and it is the passion behind a religious sister's life.

Brown. It's poor, easier to keep clean then white (I am a slob) and I love Carmelites and Poor Claires!

[VeniteAdoremus]

I've picked grey because I love the dark grey habits of the Order of St. John, aestetically. But for myself, white, I think

[franciscanheart]

I chose grey but if I could have chosen two, I would have chosen brown as it is the traditional Franciscan color. However, grey is the color of the habit for the order I am currently discerning. They too are Capuchins but do not wear brown.

White.... I just love the Dominican habit !!

I visited some Dominicans and the told me that their habits are designed to be completely reversible. I guess that is why they always appear without stains!

Brown!! Carmelite... or Franciscan...

I am partial to the Benedictines in black, but color really doesn't matter to me as long as they're wearing one!

[quote]These that are clothed in white robes, who are they? and whence came they? And I said to him: My Lord, thou knowest. And he said to me: These are they who are come out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and have made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore they are before the throne of God, and they serve him day and night in his temple: and he, that sitteth on the throne, shall dwell over them.[/quote]- Apocalypse/Revelation, Chapter 7

White-- Dominican.

[AlterDominicus]

BLACK AND WHITE. Symbol of Joy and Death, thats one reason why I love the Dominican habit.

Particularly Nashville, DSMME, and Summit. So its just great.

[Starets]

I like all colours of habit. As long as it is black

[Romans1513]

Other: Blue and white- I love the habits that the Sisters of Life wear.
