Red is the liturgical color used for Pentecost in the Episcopal Church because it symbolizes the Holy Spirit and the fire that appeared above the heads of the apostles on the Day of Pentecost. This event, described in Acts 2, marks the coming of the Holy Spirit to the apostles, empowering them to speak in different tongues and spread the message of Jesus Christ.
Worship is like a drama: The clergy, ministers and musicians are the prompters, the people are the actors, and God is the audience.
- Søren Kierkegaard
At St Benedict we celebrate with awe and obligation in a construct called liturgy. Liturgy is a Greek word that means “the work of the people.” Our services are focused through scripture reading, song, prayers, preaching, and the liturgy of the table, known also as Holy Eucharist.
