The meaning of white color in Catholic Church

The color white in clergy shirts doesn't hold the same symbolic weight as it does in other Catholic Church vestments. This is because clergy shirts are typically worn in daily life, whereas chasubles, albs, etc., have a liturgical purpose. 

Nonetheless, the color white holds great significance in Catholic liturgical celebrations and is fundamentally associated with:

• The Birth and Resurrection of Christ

Liturgical celebrations of Christmas and Easter are closely related to the color white. 

White is the color of joy and hope, which is why it's used in liturgical celebrations associated with the Birth and Resurrection of Christ. 

It's common to depict the infant Jesus swaddled in white cloth and the Risen Christ is often shown wearing a white tunic. 

• Virgin Mary feasts

In addition to symbolizing joy and hope, white also represents purity and a life without blemish. In this regard, white is closely associated with the Virgin Mary. 

There's a wide range of colors associated with Marian apparitions, but perhaps the most common is white. For example, the figures of Our Lady of Lourdes and Our Lady of Fatima are typically dressed in white. 

• Papal Attire

The Pope, as the heir of St. Peter, holds one of the most significant roles in the Catholic Church. Most of the clothing worn by the Pope in his daily activities is white. 

The origin of the Pope's white attire is related to the Dominican Order, founded by Santo Domingo de Guzmán, and their white habit. 

In 1556, Father Michele Ghislieri, better known as Pope St. Pius V, became Pope. At the beginning of his papacy, he chose to continue wearing his white friar's habit instead of the red garments traditionally worn by Popes up to that point. 

This change set a trend that subsequent Popes have followed up to the present day.
