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.
