The Legend of the Scarlet Thread

When trying to decide what to call my business, the name that came to me is The Scarlet Thread. Even though my business is in 'sleep mode' for now, I have kept it as my blog name. 
Later, learning what the story is behind the meaning of the name, I thought you might also be interested in reading about the legend.

On Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, two male goats were placed, together with a casket containing two lots, north of the Altar. The High Priest would shake the casket and remove the two lots, one in each hand. On one was inscribed "for the Lord", on the other "for Azazel." He would then place one hand on each goat and proclaim, "A sin offering for the Lord!"
He would tie a thread of crimson wool on the scapegoat and turn it toward the way it would go. He also tied a thread around the throat of the one to be slaughtered as a sin offering.
The scapegoat was turned over to the person who would lead it into the wilderness. As distinguished people accompanied it as witnesses, the goat was led to a series of ten booths. The people waited at the last booth watching from a distance while the goat was led to a ravine.
There the man divided the thread of crimson wool tying half to a rock and half between the horns of the goat. He then pushed the goat from behind into the ravine. Before the goat reached halfway down it broke into pieces. The man then returned to the last booth and sat down to wait until dark.
The high priest was then notified the goat had reached the wilderness. They knew this two ways, one, cloths were waved so the signal was sent back from place to place along the route. The second is more miraculous. A crimson wool thread was tied to the door of the Sanctuary and as the goat went in to the ravine the thread turned snow white. Isa 1:18 NKJV) "Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool." It is said that as the goat went over the edge of the ravine it could be seen that the thread turned white as did the one on the rock as a sign the sacrifice was accepted.
It is said a similar thread was tied between the horns of the bullock also sacrificed and it would also turn white as a sign God had accepted their sacrifices.
It has been said this color is the nearest to the color of blood that is possible. It is also said that with the crucifixion of Jesus this miracle did not occur again.
