FAQs! Why different colours?

You may notice over the Church year changes in the colours of the vestments of the priest and the altar. Different colours are used to symbolise the truths and sentiments expressed by the various liturgical celebrations. Purple (symbolising penance) is used for Advent and Lent, red (symbolising warmth and blood) for Pentecost and feasts commemorating the sufferings of Christ and the martyrs, white (joy, purity, innocence, glory) for celebrations such as Christmas and Easter, and green (life) for Sundays in ordinary time.
