Nationwide Day of Prayer Announced to Honour Easter Attack Victims

April 13, Colombo (LNW): The Catholic community in Sri Lanka has designated April 19, 2026 as a solemn day of prayer and remembrance for those affected by the devastating Easter Sunday bombings.

Making the announcement, the Archbishop of Colombo, His Eminence Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith, stated that special religious observances will take place in churches across the island. The initiative aims not only to honour the memory of the victims but also to offer spiritual support to their families, many of whom continue to seek answers years after the tragedy.

He noted that congregations will gather for prayer services invoking divine guidance, with a particular emphasis on uncovering the full truth behind the attacks.
