Humor: The Anglican Blue (by Huber)

Speak the truth in love. Eph 4:15

a hushed, solemn, waiting season, clad in dark Sarum blue or deep royal purple.

He he! I was on the "Art and Environment Committee" of a progressive Catholic parish in Texas (I think I was volunteered because I liked to polish the brass), and we did all the Advent decor in dark blue one year. It was something of a shock to some of the parishioners, but I liked it.

I have dark blue candles on my mantel right now, for Advent starting tomorrow, and purple (and one red - Hobby Lobby was out of pink in the matching size) in the Advent wreath in another room.

And I'm almost finished the dusting!

that anastasis icon where Christ grasps the hands of Adam and Eve with the tenacity of God, holy and strong -- and there is a hope there somewhere that grace will bring us to be what God desires us to be.

That's beautiful.
