Easter Sunday celebrated in a calm atmosphere

The Easter Sunday service was held at St Anthony’s Shrine Kochchikade in a calm atmosphere but under tight security. The same service in this church ended in carnage five years ago when a suicide bomber blew himself up killing around a hundred people. The tears of this devotee indicate the reminiscences of the incident.
