A Little Something About Advent ColorsHave you ever wondered why some churches use blue for Advent while others use purple? Purple has long been associated with preparation and reflection. Blue, adopted by many churches, emphasizes hope and anticipation. Both colors invite us into a season of waiting, not simply for Christmas morning, but for the promise of God's presence among us. It's one of the things I love about the church's visual traditions. Even before a word is spoken, color begins telling the story. Whether you're choosing a stole for worship or simply enjoy learning about the symbols and colors of the church year, I hope you'll enjoy exploring the entire Advent stole collection.
