Excellent question. :)
Priests wear red chasubles when celebrating feast days in honor of martyrs; i.e. those who gave their lives rather than compromising the Faith. The color red reminds us of the blood they shed, calling further to mind the Precious Blood Jesus shed during His Passion.
Red is also worn on Pentecost and other mass celebrations honoring the Holy Spirit. On these days, the color red may call to mind fire, a symbol under which the Holy Spirit manifested His presence throughout salvation history; e.g. Ex 3:2-3, Ex 13:21-22, Ex 14:19-20, Acts 2:2-4.
