Colors play a significant role in worship, helping to set the tone of a service and create an atmosphere conducive to prayer and reflection. Green is the liturgical color for Ordinary Time, which is the time between Easter and Christmas, and between Christmas and Lent. Green symbolizes hope, life, growth, and anticipation of the resurrection of Christ. It also symbolizes the graces that draw people into the life of God.
Worship is like a drama: The clergy, ministers and musicians are the prompters, the people are the actors, and God is the audience.
- Søren Kierkegaard
At St Benedict we celebrate with awe and obligation in a construct called liturgy. Liturgy is a Greek word that means “the work of the people.” Our services are focused through scripture reading, song, prayers, preaching, and the liturgy of the table, known also as Holy Eucharist.
