Be sure to notice the meditative landscape created by our St. Matthew’s Flower Guild this Lenten season. This altar display uses possible symbols associated with Lent. Added: a purple cloth draping the arms of the cross to symbolize sacrifice/repentance. Purple represents blood (red) mixed with a heavenly goal (blue). Purple also denotes sadness, mourning, hard labor, and torment.
Look for these and other symbols each week as the meditative landscape changes during the season. If you have questions or comments about the display, speak with Janis Williams or Beth DiGiovanni.
