Hyacinth robe = above immortality; pomegranates/bells = Gospel economy entry

Cyril: …opposite Lord upon his chest through all.

Palladius: True.

Cyril: And a priest-fitting and worthy-of-marvel garment he orders must be constructed saying: ‘And you will make an under-garment foot-reaching, wholly hyacinth, and the mouth-around will be from it middle, having a hem in a circle of the mouth-around, a work of a weaver, the joining woven-together from it, that it may not be torn. And you will make under the border of the under-garment below, as of a pomegranate flowering pomegranate-lets from hyacinth, and purple, and scarlet spun-through, and spun linen, under the border of the under-garment in a circle. The same form for the pomegranate-lets, and golden bells in midst of these in a circle beside a golden pomegranate-bell, and flowered upon the border of the under-garment in a circle. And Aaron when liturgizing, his voice will be audible, when entering into the Holy opposite Lord, and when going out, that he may not die.’ (Exodus 28:31–35) So then under-garment and foot-reaching, a long tunic, both well-formed toward wrapping-around, and the going from the neck itself unto extreme feet, he names clearly; and from hyacinth, because a symbol of the above immortality—that is, of Christ. For such indeed also all-divine David has announced beforehand saying as from person of God concerning those sacred-working in the churches: ‘Her priests I will put on salvation.’ (Psalm 132:16) Put on our Lord Jesus Christ, also wise Paul charges us. And this, I think, is our dwelling the from heaven, which we yearn to put on, the tunic of gladness, the garment of the salvation, according to the prophet’s voice. And a type of heaven is the hyacinth color said clearly. And true is the word, as upon us ourselves. For we have been wrapped with the immortality from above. And if also Christ himself should be thought, as in Aaron having the foot-reaching under-garment, no less true for us is the word; for being God by nature the Only-begotten, he finishes his own body incorruptible, and having wrapped it with the life from above, he was somehow altogether setting it in better things than the greed of death; for that both naturally together and unparticipatedly in Christ are both immortality and life, you will understand also from here. For he said as indeed also existing by nature God, ‘I am the resurrection and the life.’ (Romans 13:14) And being life-made according to the human, ‘For just as the Father,’ (Isaiah 61:10) he says, ‘has life in himself, so also to the Son he has given to have life in himself.’ (2 Corinthians 5:2) So then even if Christ himself should be thought, the one said to have been wrapped with the immortality from above, the word would not go out from the fitting. And in addition at least to the below parts perhaps, pomegranate-lets and bells alternating the things lying in; and pomegranate-lets as woven-together, and golden the bells; that they might be well-sounding according to the true, and indeed also when Aaron runs into the Holies of holies, they make his running-in most notable. And this also is a symbol of the saving and wise economy—I mean of the divine and Gospel (John 11:25) (John 5:26)
