(23 Apr 2019) Funeral prayers were held at St. Sebastian's Church in Negombo on Tuesday ahead of a mass burial for the victims of Easter Sunday bombings.
Mourners and relatives of the victims broughts flowers to the funeral service and prayed with the clergy as coffins were being carried in and out of the church.
The archbishop of Colombo, Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith, said at least 110 people were killed at St. Sebastian's Church, located in a seaside fishing town at the centre of Sri Lanka's small Catholic community.
The town, Negombo, is called "Little Rome" for its abundance of churches.
The total death toll from Sunday's attacks rose to 310, police spokesman Ruwan Gunasekara said on Tuesday.
Sri Lankan authorities say at least 31 foreigners died in the attacks.
