AS part of our planning and preparations for feast days, I thought it would be good to share this guide on Liturgical Colours:I have a few different books that seem to vary on various colours for different days. I thought having this here might be helpful for some others.

Hello Gae :) Great post! I bookmarked it for later. I've been planning on going over the liturgical colours with the children along with making our own vestments for a Father "Pine". Very informative, thank you!
And I would also like to thank you for all of your prayers and kind comments during our time of trial. It continues to be so comforting to know that there are people as kind and thoughtful as you out in cyber space.
May God bless you and your beautiful family!
Wow Gae you are just a wealth of information you amaze me!! What a blessing you are. I liked your explanation of the colors ~Heather
Great post! I think I'll print this if it is ok with you.
