It is white because the color symbolizes Jesus's light
Altars in churches during Christmas time are typically adorned with white, gold, red, and green decorations to symbolize the season. These colors represent purity, joy, sacrifice, and eternal life in the Christian tradition.
Often, a banner matching priest vestment color is in front of altar, the color being associated with the church time, like purple as it is in Lent. It does not always match; if priest is doing funeral he will wear white but the altar may still be purple.
The term "altar vow" is not used in the Catholic Church, the only reference that I can find to it is a quote in a novel from a long time ago where "altar vow" is used to refer to the marriage vows that a man and a woman make before the altar.
No, GREEN is the color in Ordinary Time and Violet in Advent. White is for Christmas and Easter, and feasts of Our Lord, the Blessed Virgin, and other saints who are not martyrs.
White, or white and gold, is the color of vestments during the Christmas Season.
The name ordinary time doesn't mean nothing happens. Ordinary time is a time of preparation in the Catholic Church. The time between the Christmas season and Lent and the Easter season and Advent is all known as Ordinary time. The Church color is green. Thanks and please click on the yes button:)
I am answering this question during the Christmas season, so the vestments are white. Here is the entire year: Advent - violet Christmas - white Ordinary Time - green Lent - violet Easter - white Ordinary Time - green If it is a feast day, then the vestments change depending on the feast day. For martyrs, the Holy Spirit, and the passion of Our Lord, the color is red. For saints who are not martyrs, the color is white. For a funeral the priest may use black, white, or violet. Gold may be substituted for any color.

Bowing is a sign of reverence - respect for God. Therefore, we bow every time we pass in front of the altar, which is consecrated to God and is a sign of Jesus. We also bow before receiving Jesus in communion.
