Why do Emperors Wear Pearls?

 

 

My question...

 

Our guide's response:  Pearls signify power, peace, prosperity and perfection in China.  How amazing that Jesus, the Pearl of Great Price is all of those.

 

^{Matthew 13:45-46}

 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls,  who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it."
