The month of February is dedicated to the Holy Family.
Half
of February falls during the liturgical season known as Ordinary Time which is
represented by the liturgical color green. Green, the symbol of hope, is the
color of the sprouting seed and arouses in the faithful the hope of reaping the
eternal harvest of heaven, especially the hope of a glorious resurrection. The
remaining days of February are the beginning of Lent. The liturgical color
changes to purple — a symbol of penance, mortification and the sorrow of a
contrite heart.
Though the shortest month of the year, February is rich in Liturgical activity, for it begins in one Liturgical Season (Ordinary Time), ends in another (Lent), and contains a feast (Presentation of our Lord) that bridges two other seasons (Christmas and Easter)! In addition, the faithful may receive in February two of the four major public sacramentals that the Church confers during the liturgical year: blessed candles and the blessing of throats.
