Rainbow March 2

Believe it or not this is a color shot! The building is white and the door is red. I initially took this thinking I might use it for my flash of red last month, but I wasn't crazy about the angle so I used the barn instead. But it was too perfect to pass up for today's red shot in Rainbow March.

FYI- you will see a lot of churches with doors painted red like this one. The doors are painted red to remind the faithful as they enter the church that Jesus shed His blood for them so that they could have fellowship with God.
Great shot for the "red" day of the rainbow challenge. I like your explanation of why the doors on many churches are red.

@bjywamer Thank you Barb! It's just something I learned when I was studying sacred art.

@olivetreeann My husband is wondering if you are living in the Poconos? He grew up in Bucks County and we spent the first ten years of our marriage there.

I always wondered about the red doors. Around here, they are often on Episcopal churches. Nice color contrast (if one can call white a color). I like the delicate stained glass transom.

Thank you Ferry!
Thank you Kathy! Yes, I think some denominations favor them over others, but I've seen them on quite a few churches in my day.
