Catholic AnswerAdvent, like Lent, is a penitential season. The color for penitential seasons, as called for in the Ordo (The Order of Prayer in the Liturgy of the Hours and Celebration of the Eucharist), is Violet.

Please note, however, his robe (alb) is always white, the chausable and stole are the color of the season, in this case, Violet.

The chasuble may be white or violet and the stole is also violet.

Violet is the color for the first two weeks of advent while the third week is Rose and the fourth week is Violet again. This color symbolizes both the pain and suffering leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus as well as the suffering of humanity and the world under sin.

During Lent and Advent, the priest wears violet vestments to signify penitence. On Good Friday and Palm Sunday the vestments will be changed to red, expressing both fire and blood.

During advent the priests wear Violet, symbolising the sovereignty of Christ.

During lent the priests wear Violet. Except for Good Friday, then it's black or red.

A rose coloured vestment may be worn on the 3rd Sunday of Advent and the 4th Sunday of Lent.

A red vestment is worn on Passion (palm) Sunday.

Often, a violet shaded toward blue is worn in Advent, and a violet shaded toward purple in Lent, but any shade of violet will do.

Priests wear violet vestments during Lent, except on the Fourth Sunday of Lent (Laetare Sunday) when the Priest is allowed to wear rose vestments.
