Sheffield's Catholic Cathedral and Lincoln Cathedral are taking part in the Red Wednesday event.
Cathedrals in the region will be lit up red in support of an international campaign to highlight the plight of people persecuted for their faith.National director Caroline Hull said it was about taking a stance against violations of religious freedom.According to ACN UK the campaign "gives those without a voice a chance to be heard", with Red Wednesday being "a call to action for people of all faiths and none".
In addition to bathing the exterior of St Marie's in red light, the cathedral will be open for anyone who wishes to come in and light a candle in memory of those persecuted for their faith. London's Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral is also hosting an event, with all proceeds going to ACN's Ukraine Appeal.
