Liturgical Colors

“Liturgical Colors” in Episcopal worship signify our place in the Church Year:

​

• WHITE, the color of Jesus’ burial garments, for Christmas, Easter, and other ‘feasts’ or festival days, as well as marriages and funerals.

• PURPLE/VIOLET for Advent (or ROYAL BLUE) & Lent (or UNBLEACHED LINEN).

• RED is used in Holy Week, the Day of Pentecost, and at ordinations.

• GREEN is used during Epiphany and the ‘Ordinary Time’ after Pentecost.
