Q: Hi Father: My pastor told me that red was an alternate color on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of Holy Week. So I went looking for that note. Didn’t find anything permitting red as an alternative color to violet. I was wondering if this is a pre-Vatican II “rubric” but didn’t find anything there either.
Do you have information on this?

A: There is no such alternative. The color for those three days is violet.
