Welcome to Meaning Mondays—a new series where we explore the hidden meaning behind the symbols, garments, and gestures you see at Mass and in the life of the Church.
Ever wondered what the bishop’s tall, pointed hat means? The miter is more than a ceremonial garment—it’s a sign of his role as a successor to the apostles and his responsibility to teach, guide, and serve the Church.
Next time you see the miter, remember: our bishops carry both tradition and mission on their heads.
