What do these gestures, signs, and colours mean?
In the liturgy we assume different postures: standing, bowing, sitting, kneeling... These are different ways of actively participating in the liturgy. When we pray, for instance, we fold our hands and do not use them for anything else.
The five liturgical colours used in the priest’s clothing and in the decoration of the altar are white, red, purple, black and green. Each colour is associated with specific liturgical celebrations or a specific period of the liturgical year.
