[Magdalen] test

[Lynn Ronkainen]

Blue is used by many denominations now - rising use from early '90s. Well in recent centuries.  ; )

Optional for TEC but fairly popular around the US. The "usual suspects" (saying that lovingly) typically do not use it, no the "high church" parishes/dio. 
Increasingly used in Methodist, ECLA, UCC and *GASP* in Presbyterian churches. 

Vestments & paraments/altar appointments. 

Brave new world.

I notice quite a number of these designs feature blue coloration.

Is this for Advent (or even Votive Masses of Our Lady :)  ?

If so, how widespread is this nice, but "unofficial" coloration used?

I haven't seen it in TEC parishes here in NE PA USA, but I don't
pretend to have visited all parishes in DioBeth, and this area is
not noted for being on the cutting edge of liturgical  experimentation.

Oddly, Blue is used during Advent in the local downtown RCC.  I
say "oddly" because it is not a color authorized by Rome.

To be clear, I LIKE blue for Advent.
