Roman Catholic AnswerI know it looks pink, but it is rose, not pink. And like the vestments, which may be worn, it is a "relief" from the normal penitential nature of Advent and Lent as the liturgy for the third Sunday of Advent, and the fourth Sunday of Lent are joyful.

from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980

Rose

. . . Rose-colored vestments may be used instead of purple on the third Sunday of Advent (Gaudete Sunday) and the fourth Sunday of Lent (Laetare Sunday). The liturgy of these Sundays is joyful.
