4 YOUTH:

Did you ever wonder how the priest decided what color vestment
to wear when he gets ready to celebrate Mass? Well, it all depends on the liturgical season. White vestments are worn during the seasons of Christmas and Easter as well as at funeral masses. Green vestments are worn during Ordinary Time. Purple vestmetns are worn during Advent and Lent. Red vestments signify the ourpouring of Blood and are worn on Palm Sunday. Good Friday and the feast days of the Apostles and martyrs. Red also symbolizes the fire of the Holy Spirit and is work on Pentecost and for the sacrament of Confirmation. So what color is Father wearing today? And why is he wearing that color?
