Sixth Sunday of Lent
Sixth Sunday of Lent
Two purple banners are hanging in the sanctuary for the season
of Lent. The purple color is used to symbolize the season of preparation
and penitence. The gray on the banners stands for humility while red is
for the blood shed and brown indicates the sadness.
The first banner has three crosses representing Christ and the
two thieves. The crosses are progressively larger, indicating the time
passing as we draw nearer to the crucifixion. The three nails stand for
the wounds Christ received as He was nailed to the cross and remind
us of the Holy Trinity that comes to fullness at the Resurrection. The
crown of thorns depicts the humiliation Christ endured for us and the
drop of blood is the tear He shed as well as the blood of sacrifice.
The second banner contains the words to a special hymn of the
Lenten season that calls us to responsibility in the crucifixion and calls
us to respond for His glory.
