About Liturgical Colors
The Catholic Church uses a system of colors to mark different seasons, feasts, and celebrations throughout the liturgical year. These colors, used for vestments and altar cloths, help the faithful visually connect with the spiritual themes of each season.
The main liturgical colors are green (Ordinary Time), purple or violet (Advent and Lent), white (Christmas and Easter), and red (Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Pentecost, and martyrs' feasts). Other colors include gold (which can substitute for white), blue (sometimes used for Marian feasts), rose (for Gaudete and Laetare Sundays), and black (optional for funeral Masses).
Understanding liturgical colors helps Catholics enter more fully into the rhythm of the Church year and appreciate the changing seasons and celebrations that make up our spiritual journey through time.
