great expectations
"On the present festive occasion he emerged from his room, when the blithe bells were going, the picture of misery, in a full suit of Sunday penitentials."
The above quote from Dickens' Great Expectations confuses me.
I understood each word but couldn't get the general meaning.
Could you please explain?
Thanks.
