What Does an #orangejumpsuit Have to Do with Holy Week?

Rev. Patrick Mahoney : Mar 31, 2015  Church On The Hill

"We are sending a powerful and public global message that we are praying and standing in solidarity with the persecuted Church and they will never be forgotten."

(Washington, DC)—Church on the Hill in Washington, DC has launched a global campaign to pray and stand in solidarity with the persecuted Church during Holy Week and calls people of faith and good will to get involved in the #orangejumpsuit project. (Photo via Facebook)

#orangejumpsuit is based on the Bible verse Hebrews 13:3, which says, "Remember those in prison as if you were in prison with them and those who are being mistreated as if you were suffering with them."

The orange prison jumpsuit has become a worldwide symbol of Christians being persecuted, tortured and imprisoned for their faith.

More information on the campaign is at the Facebook Event Page and on Twitter at #orangejumpsuit

The campaign will include things such as: fasting and prayer during Holy Week for the persecuted Church, wearing something orange on your Facebook profile picture, massive presence on social media especially twitter, people wearing an orange prison jump suit in their daily life throughout the week, walking across Washington, DC celebrating the Stations of the Cross in front of Embassies where Christians are facing the most severe persecution and walking the halls of Congressional office buildings in orange prison jumpsuits praying for the persecuted Church.

The Stations of the Cross will be celebrated on Thursday, April 2, at 12:30 P.M. in the nation's capital.

The hope is to have thousands involved by Good Friday. (Photo via Facebook)

Rev. Patrick Mahoney, Pastor of Church on the Hill and Director of the Christian Defense Coalition in Washington, DC, states:

"Across the globe today, millions of Christians are facing brutality, violence and persecution for their faith. Last year alone, reports state that over 100,000 Christians were killed for the simple fact of following and loving Christ.

"Hebrews 13:3 challenges the faith community to remember those who are in prison and being mistreated as if we were suffering and in prison with them.

"That's what the #orangejumpsuit campaign is all about. We are sending a powerful and public global message that we are praying and standing in solidarity with the persecuted Church and they will never be forgotten.

"We cannot be silent, indifferent or apathetic when Christians are being brutalized and attacked for their faith and beliefs. We must all work and pray for a world where no one is subjected to violence and persecution for their religious traditions and beliefs."
