Last summer, Christians around the world embraced–and displayed–the Arabic letter nun (N) as a sign of solidarity with Iraqi Christians persecuted by ISIS. The movement became known as #WEAreN. Nun was the letter the Islamic State jihadist painted on Christian homes and businesses to identify them as “Nazerites,” or Christian infidels.

Now, a growing number of Christians around the globe are displaying red crosses in solidarity with the Chinese church.

Take a look at what some young Americans did at the recent Rock the Desert music festival in Midland-Odessa, Texas:

Their red crosses are a show of unity against China’s forced removal of church crosses. According to China Aid, crosses displayed at more than 1500 churches–most of them in China’s Zhejiang province have been forcibly removed in recent months by government officials.

Because Catholic and Protestant registered churches –not just unregistered, underground churches are being targeted, a growing number of Chinese Christians are resisting this latest wave of persecution.

Take a look at this video taken just several days ago in Wenzhou:

Yes, from Zhejiang to West Texas, China’s Red Cross movement is now the new “N”.
