Illuminations for charity at the Sagrada Família - Illuminations for charity at the Sagrada Família

Over the course of the year, the Sagrada Família supports several initiatives that raise awareness of social causes.

On 24 May, the Nativity façade was lit up orange for National Epilepsy Day as part of the “Ilumina de Naranja por la Epilepsia” campaign promoted by the Asociación Nacional de Personas con Epilepsia-ANPE. Likewise, on 14 November the façade was bathed in blue for World Diabetes Day, as part of the “Posa’t de blau” campaign.

Last night was the third charity illumination of the year, for Red Week, an international initiative in remembrance of Christians persecuted around the world. With the façade lit up in red, the Sagrada Família joined other cathedrals, churches and monuments taking part in this global initiative.
