Description
Cardinal Color: One of the first and most obvious qualities about the cardinal is his color. Cardinal red is so called because it is one of the three primary colors. The primary colors are red, blue and yellow. All other colors are a combination of these three basic colors. That the visual spectrum begins with red hints at the importance of the cardinal, beginning with his powerful visual presence.
For Christians, cardinal red is the color symbolic of the blood of Christ and the hope humanity gained from his resurrection. Cardinal is the name as well as the color worn by Cardinals, the highest priests in the Roman Catholic Church. Red is worn on the day of Pentecost as a sign to celebrate the birth of the Christian Church as well as on Christmas to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Red is symbolic of steadfast faith.
