On Dec. 28, the day when the Catholic Church commemorates the feast of the Holy Innocents, Spanish-speaking cities in Latin America and Spain will join together in the “Light Up Life” campaign, an initiative that advocates for the defense of life from conception and the preservation of the innocence of children.
The campaign, called by various pro-life organizations including the National Front for the Family and 40 Days for Life, encourages people to take action with a message on social media: “You don’t abort a child, you don’t sexualize a child, you don’t indoctrinate a child… Children are sacred!”
“We will gather in the streets and squares of many countries and light a candle for the innocent aborted children. We will gather as sentinels of life, with candles lit, because as on that night of times past, Herod continues killing innocent children... Herod today is the genocide of abortion,” the organizers’ manifesto explains.
According to the campaign, like last year more than 100 cities will participate in this event, lighting a light symbolized by candles as a sign of “the determined will to safeguard the life and integrity of our children.”
