Faith Focus: Lent
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF LENTEN COLORS
During Lent, Father wears different colors of vestments. Each color has great meaning.
Purple is the primary color of Lent.
Purple symbolizes our need for repentance.
It also represents the purple robe that Pontius Pilate placed on Jesus before he was crucified.
Red: Father wears red vestments on Palm Sunday to foreshadow Jesus' death on the Cross.
White: On Easter, Father wears white vestments to represent Jesus’ resurrection.
