This color represents purity, virginity, innocence, and birth. The liturgical color of Christmas and Easter is white. This represents brightness and purity. It is associated with youth, pleasure, the harvest, hospitality, love, and charity. White also stands for peace and forgiveness. In Christian symbolism, black is a sign of destruction and death. However, black can also be a sign of honor and respect. The Bible describes Jesus as "the light of the world". He is said to have overcome sin and death. For this reason, his followers should never worship darkness; rather they should give glory to a light that has abolished death forever. White remains one of the few colors that can be seen from space. Our planet turns white at night, when you look at the moon or planets like Venus or Mars. The ice caps on Mars are actually made of water vapor that condenses into liquid droplets that reflect sunlight back to Earth as white clouds. So, white is the perfect color for a holiday that means happiness and joy for everyone. It also represents truth and spirituality. As we know, these are very important concepts for Christians so this symbol was chosen carefully.
