Red Wednesday 2025<\/h2>\n\n

On Red Wednesday 2025, we commemorate persecuted Christians around the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Red Wednesday (often referred to as \u201eRoter Mittwoch\u201c in German) is a day of remembrance and action organised by the Catholic Church and various Christian organisations, which is observed annually in November. The aim of this day is to draw attention to violations of religious freedom around the world. In particular, it commemorates people who are discriminated against, persecuted or killed because of their faith.<\/p>\n\n

Red Wednesday is characterised by the red illumination of numerous churches, cathedrals, monasteries, public buildings and landmarks. The colour red is symbolic of the blood of the martyrs and of all those who suffer because of their faith. The visual presence is intended to be a strong public symbol that raises awareness of the often invisible fates of religiously persecuted people.<\/p>\n
