What do the different colors of priests' liturgical vestments mean?

If you notice, priests don't always wear the same colored liturgical vestments on every mass.

On "Dapat Alam Mo!" Mariz Umali reports each color of vestment means different things.

According to Fr. Garry Clemente, parochial vicar of the San Antonio Padua Parish in Hagonoy Bulacan, a green stole, which symbolizes hope, is used during ordinary time.

A a white stole, meanwhile is worn on Easter, Christmas, and the Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It symbolizes cleanliness and joy.

Symbolizing martyrdom, a red stole is used every Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and the Feast of the Holy Spirit.

While violet, often worn during Advent and Lent, symbolizes grieving, a black stole is used only for funeral masses.

Finally, a pink stole is only used twice a year: on the third Sunday of Advent, also known as Guadete Sunday and the fourth Sunday of Lent.

Each vestment is blessed before a priest uses it for Holy Mass, and once it becomes worn down, it cannot simply be thrown away. The Liturgical vestment is considered holy. — LA, GMA Integrated News
