The Colours of the Church Year:

Anglican churches follow a liturgical calendar. This is a pattern for their worship (liturgy) through the year.

As a church school, this provides an ideal opportunity to mirror what is happening in our parish and local church. It also provides a colourful and visual way to mark the festivals throughout the year. Most churches will use different coloured vestments (a priest’s clothing) and altar cloths as signs of the season of the church year.

As a school, we are able mirror this by changing the colour of our liturgical cloths. We find that the children recognise the colours and their meaning, that when they enter the worship space, they will notice the colours have changed and begin to make links between the seasons and the festivals throughout the year.
