What the colors mean

White: joyful feasts of Our Lord, Our Lady, and saints who were not martyrs.

Red: martyrs, the Holy Spirit, and feasts connected with Christ's Passion.

Green: ordinary Sundays and weekdays outside penitential seasons.

Violet: Advent, Lent, and other penitential days.

Rose: the two lighter, hopeful Sundays in Advent and Lent.

Black: Masses for the dead, where it is used.

The fish symbol marks an abstinence day. “Fast” marks a fasting day.
