Philip Romolo Neri (Italian: Filippo Romolo Neri; 21 July 1515 – 25 May 1595), known as the Third Apostle of Rome, after Saints Peter and Paul, was an Italian priest noted for founding a society of secular clergy called the Congregation of the Oratory. Philip founded the Confraternity of the Most Holy Trinity of Pilgrims and Convalescents, whose primary object was to minister to the needs of the thousands of poor pilgrims who flocked to Rome, especially in jubilee years, and also to relieve the patients discharged from hospitals but who were still too weak for labour.
In many Christian churches, the color black is used to represent sorrow and mourning, as well as its close connection with darkness and sin. It is especially associated with Lent, the period of fasting preceding Easter, when mournful hymns are sung and traditional devotions are observed. It is also used to honor saints and martyrs, who made heroic sacrifices in the name of faith. In certain liturgies, the color can also symbolize repentance and humility.
