To promote awareness of and solidarity with persecuted Christians, Archbishop Eamon Martin and Aid to the Church in Need Ireland invites you to: – remember the witness and sacrifice of past and present martyrs by praying the Angelus at 12 noon and 6.00pm – wear a red tie or red scarf as a symbolic reminder of all Christians who have suffered and died for their faith. Knock Basilica will be illuminated in red from 5pm today, as will many churches worldwide.
