Christ's sacrifice: The color red represents the blood of Christ and his sacrifice for humanity.

Holy Spirit: Red symbolizes the presence of the Holy Spirit, and a sense of welcome, warmth, and spiritual safety.

Passover: Red has an inference to Passover, when God commanded the Hebrews to mark their doors with the blood of a sacrificial lamb.

Martyrs: Red may symbolize Christians martyred for their faith.

Healing: Red can symbolize a place for forgiveness, reconciliation, and emotional and spiritual healing.

Liturgical significance: Red is liturgically significant, representing the blood of the martyrs and the fire of the Holy Spirit.
