LITURGICAL COLOURS
The colours suggested are not mandatory and traditional or local uses may be followed where established.  Colours shown here are those likely to be used in most parishes.  The suggested colour for the day is shown at the left of each day's entry under the date.  The colours for a Sunday or major feast or holy day are shown with a capital letter.  The colours for lesser holy days are indicated in lower case.  The colour for a particular service should reflect the predominant theme.  If the collect, readings, etc on a lesser festival are those of the saint, then either red (for a martyr) or white is used; otherwise, the colour of the season is retained.  The colour for a 1st Evensong is shown below the colour for the day.

W (White) is the colour for the festal periods 
•	from Christmas Day to the Presentation and 
•	from Easter Day to Ascension Day
•	Trinity Sunday
•	Festivals of Our Lord and the Blessed Virgin Mary
•	All Saints’ Day
•	Festivals of those saints not venerated as martyrs
•	The Feast of Dedication of a church
•	At Holy Communion on Maundy Thursday
•	Thanksgiving for Holy Communion and Holy Baptism
It is used for Marriages
It is used for Baptisms.  
It may be used in preference to violet or black for Funerals and should be used at the Funeral of a Child.

R (Red) is used:
•	During Holy Week (except for Holy Communion on Maundy Thursday)
•	From the Friday after Ascension Day to the Feast of Pentecost
•	Feasts of those saints venerated as martyrs.
It may be used between All Saints’ Day and the eve of the First Sunday of Advent (except where other provision is made).  This is indicated in brackets [R] during this period.
It is appropriate for any services which focus on the gift of the Holy Spirit, and is therefore suitable for Confirmation and Ordination.

V (Violet) is the colour for:
•	Advent
•	From Ash Wednesday until the day before Palm Sunday.

It may be used for Funerals and for Commemoration of the Faithful Departed, 
although either black or white may be preferred.
A Lent array of unbleached linen is sometimes used as an alternative to violet, but only from Ash Wednesday until the day before Palm Sunday.

G (Green) is used 
•	from the day after the Presentation until Shrove Tuesday
•	from the day after Pentecost until the eve of All Saints’ Day,
except when other provision is made.

Other practices
which can be noted are:
•	Removal of coloured hangings on Good Friday and Easter Eve.
•	The use of Gold for feasts of our Lord and of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
•	The use of Blue for the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Angels.

The English sequence
Where a parish uses the "English sequence", the following suggestions may be helpful:
•	W will mean the 'Best' or White or Gold for Feasts of our Lord and of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  Yellow for Birth of St John Baptist, Mary Magdalene, saints who are not martyrs.
•	V will mean: Violet (rather than Purple) or Blue (which is liturgically the same as Purple) for Advent, Septuagesima to Shrove Tuesday, Vigils, Ember days, Rogation days.  
•	Lenten colour (resembling unbleached linen) from Ash Wednesday to Refreshment Sunday.  
•	Passiontide Red (a deep blood red) from Passion Sunday to Maundy Thursday.
