my red door makes me :)

So I've painted my front door red, and I love it...even though Reagan thinks it doesn't "match". It stands out a bit, but that was the idea. I love red doors and have for a while, so I did a bit of googleing & found out that red doors have several different meanings:
-If you're into Feng Shui, and your door faces north, (Yes mine does!), a red door is supposed to bring you prosperity, luck & good energy.
-In Christianity a red door can represent several things such as the blood of Christ or the sacrafice made by the Jewish Slaves of Egypt who were instructed by God to paint the blood of a sheep on their door so that the Angel of Vengence (don't know exactly what it was refered to in the bible) would pass over that dwelling and harm no one inside. In other words 'Safety' to all those inside...I liked this one!
-In early Pioneer days, people passing through a new town would look for red doors as symbols of welcome and possible refuge from their travels.
There were a few other meanings too but these are my favs. Maybe one of these legends will prove to be true...I hope so...but for now I'm smiling every time I see my door. That's reason enough for me!
