Best Answer

Priests wear red vestments when the day being observed calls for them to do so. The celebrations of martyr-saints usually calls for priest to wear of red vestments, the red signifying the blood the martyr was glad to shed for the Lord. The Catholic Church commemorates many martyrs throughout the liturgical year; examples of some martyr saints are Saint Agnes (January 21), Saints Peter and Paul (June 29), Saint Cecilia (Nov. 22). Red would be an option on all these days.

Pink (rose) is worn on only two Sundays each year - Gaudate Sunday - the Third Sunday of Advent, and Laetera Sunday, the fourth Sunday in Lent. It is a brief joyful interlude in the season of waiting and anticipation for the birth of Our Savior, or a joyful interlude in the penitential season of Lent. Since the color rose is only used twice each year, most parishes don't even have vestments in that color. The actual robe worn is always white, however, the chasuble and stole may be rose on those two days.

They don't, their robe is called an alb, and it is always white. However, they do wear violet (violet is the liturgical color, not purple) chasuble and stole during Advent and Lent.

What vestments does a sacristan wear?

Answer A Cathlolic priest who is a monsignor (an honorary title) wears the same vestments as any priest when celebrating the Eucharist. The colour of a monsignorial cassock is different from that of a priest. There are three levels of monsignor: Chapain: Black cassock with purple trim and purple sash. Honorary Prelate: Black cassock with red trim and purple sash. On formal occasions they wear a purple cassock. They do not wear a pectoral cross or a skull cap as do bishops. Apostolic Protonotary: These dress in the same manner as honorary prelates, but have the option of using a purple cape (trimmed in red) on formal occasions.
