The Walkway of the Gods
The red carpet, according to Greek mythology, was an honor reserved for the Gods of Olympus. Mere mortals, such as King Agamemnon, didn't fulfill the life expectancy he would have hope after setting foot on the "crimson path" laid out for him by his unfaithful wife. Nevertheless the red carpet treatment flourished over time and today stepping on to a red carpet is a symbol of glamour, wealth, and stardom! New York, where gods of fashion, art, architecture, film and theater, literature, science, and just about every profession and trade coexist with us mortals in our modern world, a university school graduation is the kind of event where a red carpet aisle runner isn't just a crimson pathway to a diploma, but an invitation for young gods to aspire to ultimate success.
Once a symbol of social status and seen mostly in renaissance art depictions of saints, gods and royalty, the notion that the red carpet made people feel special grew and we find it making a historical appearance in 1821 to welcome US President James Monroe ashore from a riverboat, and in 1902 used to direct first class ticket holders to board the exclusive express passenger train out of New York Central Railroad. Then came Hollywood and the red carpet, stanchions, and step and repeat banners took the world by storm. Today the honor of a walk on a plush, red carpet aisle is also notably given to high school graduating seniors and college and university graduates. Which brings us to the graduating classes of 2019!
