Easter Colors

Most of the major festivals are associated with a unique set of colors. Being a festival of high religious symbolism as well as springtime festivity, Easter brings to our mind a myriad of hues that reflect the dichotomous nature of the festival. Colorful Easter eggs, bright colored baskets and Easter flowers represent the joyous colors of the spring season. On the other hand, colours such as red and white symbolize the religious connotations of Easter.

Red: The color red is symptomatic of the blood that Lord Jesus Christ shed as atonement for the sins of humanity.

White: The color white symbolizes the hope of the resurrection, as well as the purity and newness that comes from victory over sin and death.

Purple: Purple color is the color of royalty. It is the color of the garment that covered Jesus when He was taken to the crucifix.

Black: Black is the color of sin or darkness that engulfed the world after Christ's crucifixion.

Yellow: Yellow symbolizes the light of the world brought by the risen Christ that enlightens the world.
