On November 20, 24 of Ireland’s 26 cathedrals will be illuminated in red, along with the world’s largest statue of St. Patrick on top of Slieve Patrick Mountain. The national Marian and Eucharistic Shrine in Knock will also be illuminated red to highlight global Christian persecution as part of ACN Ireland’s Week of Witness. The international Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) is organising activities to commemorate Red Wednesday on 20 November in over than twenty countries. This annual event aims to shed light on the persecution faced by Christians worldwide and the fundamental right to religious freedom. Throughout Europe, the Americas, and Oceania, approximately 300 ACN events will take place in hundreds of cities. What initially started as a single day of solidarity, during which churches and secular buildings were illuminated in red, has now evolved into a week-long or even month-long series of prayer vigils, testimonies, conferences and exhibitions in many countries. Some regions have even adopted the term "Red Week" or "Red November" to encompass these extended activities. A significant highlight of this year's Red Wednesday is the release of the 2024 edition of "Persecuted & Forgotten?". The ACN report examines the situation for Christians in 18 countries of particular concern.
