The first of the brand new vestment sets you’ll see is the green one, which covers the season after Pentecost and spans the longest of the church year, called Ordinary time. The color green symbolizes growth, new life, and the mission of the Church.
As shared on the Episcopal Church’s official website, Ordinary time is sometimes referred to as the “green growing season”. It is the green, growing season not only because of the liturgical color or because it begins in the summer months when things are growing and thriving. It is the green, growing season because this is the season that gives us the room to breathe, to explore, to learn more about Jesus and his teachings and to find where they intersects with our own lives. This season after Pentecost focuses on the mission of the church in the world and its responsibility in carrying on the work that Jesus gave us to do.
We hope these new vestments will inspire a new engagement with your own spirituality!
