Red Door

The Church in yesterday’s post has used red very effectively.

Unifying and a bit whimsical.  Perhaps a subliminal message as well.

    Great pix…surprised to see you’ve found these in northern Ontario (where I used to go to camp.)

    Not sure if you know (?) that traditionally Anglican churches have red doors, a sign of sanctuary.

    The “blood of Christ” thought was in the back of my mind.
    Around here the Anglican Churches are not flambuoyant and their doors are conventional colours (as are most churches). I grew up in Southern Ontario and don’t remember seeing red doors on churches at all. Mind you, my hometown had very strong Scottish ancestry (Presbyterian).
