Green is the liturgical colour associated with either the "time after Pentecost" (according to the traditional Roman rite) or the "tempus per annum" / "ordinary time" (in the modern liturgy of Paul VI), but while green represents that 'default' or 'ordinary' colour of the liturgical year, green vestments needn't themselves be plain or ordinary. What follows here is a small selection of green vestments that are particularly noteworthy for their beauty.
