__________________________________________________________________________

I’m not Jewish and I’m not sure about current liturgies or the colors they employ. But I do know a special blue was by ancient Jews.

The Tzitzit is a fringe on the four corners of Jewish prayer shawls. These fringes had to use a color that was highly prized in ancient times. This blue color is called Tekheklet and its origin is disputed in some Jewish circles yet today.

I only know about this by having watched a documentary like show on the subject. I would think with it’s Old Testament history, the blue would get used somewhere in one of today’s religions?
