Colours have many differing interpretations depending upon the circumstances and the society they are used in.
Those following are my interpretation in the church’s use:-
WHITE (& GOLD) - symbolism of celebration and purity. Used at Christmas, Easter, Saints Day celebrations; also for weddings, baptisms and sometimes funerals.
RED - symbolism of Fire of the Holy Spirit; the blood of the martyrs. Used at Pentecost (Whitson) and Feast Day of a martyr.
PURPLE - symbolism of Kingship; also mourning. Used at Advent and Lent; also funerals.
GREEN - symbolism of fertility and life. Used during ‘ordinary’ time, harvest festival.
WELCOME
IT ALL MEANS SOMETHING!
