1. In the vestments worn by the priest at Mass, the Church makes use of five colors : white, red, green, purple, and black.
2. White is the color used on the feasts of Our Lord, of the Blessed Virgin, of the angels, and of confessors.
3. Red is the color used at Pentecost and on the feasts of martyrs.
4. Green is used on the Sundays after the Epiphany and after Pentecost on which nothing special is commemorated.
5. Purple is used in Advent and Lent, and upon vigils and Ember days.
6. Black is used on Good Friday and at Masses for the dead.
7. These colors not only depict the course of Our Lord's life on earth, but serve as a constant admonition to us to lead a pious life.
