This door belongs to the Christ Episcopal church, in Greenwich, South Carolina. I’m not positive what sort of look the painters were going for when they chose the royal purple for the door, but I love that unexpected inclusion of colour and energy into religious life. For something which is essentially meant to be so joyful and life affirming, people can sometimes get quite stifled in tradition and things which are really boring … not like this door though! Awesome. And no holds have been barred – the handles are painted a wonderful ocean blue.
