Liturgical colors

Liturgical colors are special hues used in church services to reflect the themes of different seasons and occasions in the Christian calendar. They serve as visual cues that enhance worship and convey spiritual significance. For example, purple is used during Advent and Lent to denote preparation and penitence, white symbolizes purity and celebration during Christmas and Easter, red represents the Holy Spirit and martyrs, and green signifies hope and growth in Ordinary Time. These colors help congregations focus on the meaning of each season and deepen their spiritual experience through visual symbolism.
