ST. PAUL'S LUTHERAN CHURCH

White is the color of purity and
completeness.  Lutheran Worship
calls for its use during the seasons
of Easter, Christmas, and minor
church festivals and occasions. In
all, white serves as the best
festive color for the church year.

Easter is a time for joy.  "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow." Christ's triumph from the grave on Resurrection day is the cause for our rejoicing. His purity before his Father becomes our purity.

Christmas and the Following Sundays  White is the appointed color for such festive Sundays as Christmas and its twelve days; Epiphany and the first Sunday following it, observed as the Baptism of Our Lord; the Last Sunday after the Epiphany, also known as Transfiguration Sunday and Holy Trinity Sunday.

For more about the use of color in worship, visit the Liturgical Color portion of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod website.
