Liturgical Colors and Seasons
The Catholic Liturgy is very rich in tradition. As people who live in the world and are in contact with physical realities, it is important to have externals to remind and assist us in the worship of God. The entire Church year is broken into Liturgical seasons that help us follow the life of Christ and experiance these events in the here and now.
