THE COLOR RED

Red is the color that symbolizes the blood of our Lord. It always connects with the sacrifice that He made for us when he was on the cross. His suffering resulted in crimson blood. The Old Testament scriptures required sacrifices of lambs and other animals as a symbol of the blood which would be shed by Jesus. These animals were cut so that the blood flowed freely and became part of the offering.

In some cases red can be used to distinguish royalty or important people who were named in the Bible. Examples include such people as Solomon, King Herod and Pilate
