What it means

The flames are the tongues of fire of Pentecost (Acts 2:3), and the dove is the Holy Spirit, called down on the Church and on every ordinand. The cross on one end, the dove on the other.

A gold Latin cross over flames on one end, a white dove over flames on the other.

When it is worn

Red carries the Day of Pentecost and most feasts of apostles, evangelists and martyrs. In the Roman rite it is worn on Palm Sunday and Good Friday, and in Episcopal use through Holy Week, except at Holy Communion on Maundy Thursday. It is also the colour of ordinations in the Episcopal Church and many Anglican churches.
