You may have wondered why we change colors of our altar curtains and the antependium (scarf) on the pulpit. These items of decoration are more than decoration; they are rich with history and symbolism.

The colors of the Christian Year:

  • Purple, representing both royalty and penitence, is traditionally used during Advent and Lent.
  • Blue symbolizes hope and can be used during Advent.
  • White and gold are used at Christmas and Easter to symbolize joy and festivities.
  • Red symbolizes the color of fire to represent the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost and times when the work of the Holy Spirit is emphasized. During Holy Week it represents the blood of Christ. Red is also used for civil observances such as Memorial Day and Thanksgiving.
  • Green represents growth and is used during Ordinary Time (the season after Epiphany and the season after Pentecost.)

Our ordinary time begins now thru the middle of November. Green represents growth. How many ways can we grow our love for God and his kingdom?
