On Red Wednesday Nearly 100 Buildings Lit up Red in Czechia
On Wednesday, 25 November 2020, the Czech Republic brought awareness to people persecuted for their faith around the world, as part of the international initiative Red Wednesday. More than 60% of the persecuted live in countries which fail to respect a fundamental human right – freedom of religion. Every day, nearly 300 million faithful experience persecution, according to the papal organization Aid to the Church in Need. In addition to the Czech Republic, buildings were lit up red yesterday in several countries, including Great Britain, Canada and Slovakia.
