It will also light up white and gold for Easter
Lincoln Cathedral will continue to be lit in red until Wednesday to mark Holy Week and the run up to Easter Sunday.
The iconic building has been lit in red since Palm Sunday, March 28, when Christian worshippers celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem.
It will light up white and also gold later this week. The colours will reflect the traditional liturgical colours of Holy Week which are used for vestments, altar fronts and other liturgical linens in the Cathedral.
