Thanks for this, Christine. As an Anglican Anglo-Catholic with an Ordo Kalendar I am familiar with red letter days. The red (clergy vestments and altar cloths too) signifies saints' days (martyrs, hence red), as well as days that are considered Feasts of the Holy Spirit. Today is the Feast of St. Andrew, Apostle and hence a red day.
Yes!! I also saw a mention that many of the monks working in scriptoriums liked using red ink so much that they began using it for all capital letters that began new lines, thus a cause to mark every day with red in remembrance of God's gifts. Not sure of the historical accuracy of the story, but there is ample evidence of red capital letters!
