  1. I was told in preparation for my 'confirmation' to the Anglican church in 1973 that the bishop's mitre was a representation of the tongues of flame seen above the apostles heads on the day of Pentecost; i.e. representative of the Holy Spirit in that person. Maybe a case of retconning to ascribe a more satisfying/relevant meaning upon that occasion rather than a more mundane and awkward actual derivation of that kooky headgear.
