violet I believe

ANITAD: Why are you yelling are your questions? Are you aware that when you capitalize all your letters it is as though you were angry and yelling at the top of your lungs? Please cancel your caps lock and ask in a 'normal' voice. I can't answer your question, sorry for that but have come across several of your questions and thought I might inform you. Please do not take offense to this, if you are doing this 'just because,' fine and I am truly sorry. But if you were not aware now you are. God Bless, <:))))<><

I believe they wear purple during these events. I've been to a church during these events and the entire church is decked out in purple.

I can say it's purple, (from my xian days).

The priest is vested in violet, “the gloomy color of affliction and mortification”, except on the Fourth Sunday of Lent ( Laetare Sunday) when he might choose the festive option of rose vestments. The sanctuary is bereft of flowers, and less ornate linens and candlesticks adorn the altar. The Gloria will not be prayed on Sunday, while the Alleluia will be entirely absent throughout Lent.

In Catholic tradition, violet is the colour used for Lent, as well as Advent, Funerals and Masses for the dead. http://www.medugorje.com/catholic/lit_color.html

The color for Lent is usually purple, except for Good Friday. Then it's black. The color for Advent is usually blue and sometimes purple. The third Sunday is pink.

Advent is a season of spiritual preparation for the celebration of the birth and reign of Christ. Expectation rather than personal penitence is the central theme of the season. Advent is a preparation for, rather than a celebration of, Christmas. Royal Purple symbolising the sovereignty of Christ is normally the liturgical colour but Blue is also occasionally used to distinguish the season from Lent. As the colour of the sky, Blue symbolises Christ the source of day. As the colour honouring Mary, Blue also reminds us that during Advent the church waits with Mary for the birth of Jesus. The traditions of Lent are derived from the time when the church prepared candidates, or "catechumens," for their baptism into the Body of Christ. It eventually became a season of preparation for the whole congregation. Self-examination, study, fasting, prayer and works of love are disciplines historically associated with Lent. Conversion - literally, the "turning around" is the theme of Lent. The forty days of Lent correspond to the forty-day temptation of Jesus in the wilderness and the forty-year journey of Israel from slavery to a new community. On Ash Wednesday, ashes are placed on the foreheads of the congregation as a symbol that we have come from dust and one day will return to dust. With this reminder of life's fragility begins a spiritual quest that continues until the Easter Vigil, when the entire congregation joins in a reaffirmation of their baptismal vows. Most of this time of preparation is symbolized by the colour Violet, though the season is bracketed by the mourning Black of Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. As an alternative to Violet, some churches have begun to use brown, beige or grey a reminder of "sackcloth" to reflect the season's mood of penitence and simplicity. http://www.holytrinityamblecote.org.uk/colours_&_vestments.htm

Purple or Violet vestments are worn by Priests in both Advent and Lent

Purple/Violet. On one sunday (the third? I can't quite remember) Rose or Purple/Violet may be worn. Technically Blue-violet is the color for Advent (Violet for mortification/preparation and Blue for our Lady). and Red-Violet is the Color for Lent (Mortification/Preparation and the Blood of Christ's Sacrifice). Purple/Violet may be used for both, however.
