Red Wednesday 2024

Lighting Up The London Oratory for Red Wednesday

Shining a Light on Religious Persecution

On Red Wednesday, we had the honour of illuminating The London Oratory in a striking red glow, standing in solidarity with persecuted Christians and those denied religious freedom worldwide.

This powerful event, organised by Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), sees landmarks across the globe bathed in red light—a bold visual reminder of the suffering faced by many due to their faith. The London Oratory, one of the UK’s most iconic churches, became a beacon of awareness, prayer, and support.

Our Role in the Event

At Fusion Sound & Light, we were proud to contribute by providing the lighting and technical production needed to transform the Oratory’s grand façade. Our team carefully designed and implemented a dramatic red lighting setup, ensuring the church stood out in the London skyline as a symbol of remembrance and hope.

This project came with its challenges:
🔴 Preserving the church’s historic beauty while enhancing its presence with powerful lighting.
🔴 Outdoor setup considerations, ensuring the lighting remained impactful yet respectful of the sacred space.
🔴 Weather-proofing and logistics, as the installation required careful planning around the building’s architecture and environmental factors.

Despite these complexities, the result was a breathtaking tribute that left a lasting impact on those who saw it.

Why Red Wednesday Matters

Red Wednesday is more than just a visual display—it’s a movement. It calls attention to those who suffer for their beliefs and encourages action, awareness, and support. The lighting of The London Oratory was our way of using our expertise to amplify this important cause.

As we stood in front of the illuminated Oratory, watching passers-by pause to take in the moment, we were reminded of the power of light—not just as a technical element, but as a symbol of unity, faith, and resilience.

Looking Ahead

We are proud to have been part of this meaningful event and hope to continue supporting Red Wednesday in the years to come. If you’re planning an event that needs expert lighting and production, we’d love to help bring your vision to life.
