Choosing to seek the light, not the shadows

The initiative was launched by Aid to the Church in Need, a pontifical foundation, and will be supported this year by Christian Solidarity Worldwide, an organization that works to secure religious freedom for all,  Forbes reports.

In past years, London’s Westminster Palace and Westminster Abbey, as well as the Colosseum in Rome, have been lit red in recognition of the day. The Colosseum holds special significance in the history of Christian persecution, as many suffered there prior to the legalization of Christianity in the Roman Empire.

In the United States, several buildings will be lit this year, including the Basilica of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Washington, D.C. and the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in Philadelphia.

A study by the University of Notre Dame’s Center for Ethics and Culture, the Religious Freedom Institute and Georgetown University’s Religious Freedom Research Project concluded that Christianity is “the most widely targeted religious community, suffering terrible persecution globally.”
