Traditional liturgical colors of the church season are blue, white, purple, red, and green. Blue as hope in Advent; white for purity at Christmas and Easter; purple as repentance, suffering, and royalty during Lent and Advent; red as blood of sacrificed Christ during Lent,  fire of Holy Spirit during Pentecost, and ordination's yoke of Christ. Green represents times of spiritual growth in the church year.

   Careful research has gone into designing appropriate symbols for the various church seasons, while personal reflection and interpretation goes into designing others.  One of a kind designs are most often created.  Repeated designs will vary due to hand painted nature.  Commission work is also available.
