During the Liturgical seasons of Advent and Lent, the priest wears violet. The priest wears violet because it is the color of penance, sorrow, suffering, and humility. Because Lent is a time of penance, it is right for him to wear this color during this Liturgical Season. Historically, violet was also the color of royalty because violet was an expensive color. So, along with being a color of penance and suffering, it also shows how Jesus is the King of Heaven.
