A Users' Guide for Episcopalians
"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 Sunday.
Watch for these colors on the altar, for clergy garments, and in worship decorations.
