“Light up your buildings red, floodlight them red; we know a number of churches, cathedrals across, certainly the UK and beyond are lighting red. We’re inviting people to wear a red tie, wear a red scarf, or wear a red hat, or even red shoes to draw attention to Red Wednesday. And the third and the most obvious thing to do is to tweet or to use other forms of social media to shine a light on religious persecution by tweeting the phrase #RedWednesday, so that we get this momentum of awareness about the plight of those who suffer and about our determination to stand in solidarity with them in prayer and in action.”

Pope Francis on this 28th November landmark buildings, Churches and Cathedrals will be lit up in red for #RedWednesday, in solidarity with persecuted Christians and faith minorities who suffer discrimination because of their beliefs.
