It is not only a day. It is the whole week from November 19-26, but Wednesday is a highlight. I wish many our English Coptic brothers and sisters participate and support the cause by wearing red on that week, pray for the persecuted churches, and educate other on Christians’ persecution in Egypt and in the Middle East.
"Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:10)
