The wearing of uniforms or special regalia is a tradition that can be traced to biblical times. It signifies the distinction of being set apart from the rest of society. Individuals wearing uniforms or special regalia are chosen or have accepted the call to perform specific duties to serve God and humanity. Exodus chapter 28 describes the vestments specifically designed for Aaron and his sons to minister unto the Lord. The vestments reflect the specific guidelines of God which in turn held special meaning for the children of Israel.
