Sri Lankan Roman Catholics attended Mass dressed in black on Sunday, with prayers and protests calling for justice for those killed in co-ordinated suicide bomb attacks on Easter Sunday two years ago.
Church bells tolled and prayers were chanted at 8.45am, the time when bombs were detonated almost simultaneously at two Roman Catholic churches and a Protestant church during Easter services on April 21 2019.
Bombs were also set off at three top hotels, targeting locals and foreigners who were eating breakfast.
