Red Wednesday is a global Catholic tradition that began in the mid-2010s through Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) in the UK. The idea was simple: shine the color red to remember Christians—and other faith communities—who suffer violence or restrictions because of what they believe.
London and Manila were among the first to light up landmarks in red. From there, the movement spread fast. Each year, schools, parishes, and cities join by turning buildings red, wearing red, and praying for people who cannot practice their faith freely.
Red was chosen because it has long symbolized sacrifice in Christian history. It’s a reminder that persecution still happens today—not just in ancient stories.
For 2025, Red Wednesday falls on November 26. It’s a quiet moment to pause, pray, and stand with those who face danger for their faith.
A simple color, a small act, but a strong message: you are not forgotten.
On this day, wear red—stand with the persecuted, and let hope be seen.
