 On
Good Friday, Jesus Christ was executed by crucifixion.
His body was taken down from the cross, and buried in
a cave. The tomb was guarded and an enormous stone was
put over the entrance, so that no-one could steal the
body. On the following Sunday, some women visited the
grave and found that the stone had been moved, and that
the tomb was empty. Jesus himself was seen that day,
and for days afterwards by many people. His followers
realised that God had raised Jesus from the dead. ---> |

 COMMANDER
OF THE ARMY Lieutenant General Sarath Fonseka
during his official tour in India last week was not
without surprises, particularly when he visited Buddhist
sacred places in Bodh Gaya, Mahabodhi temple and Saranath.
Those sites were packed with devotees at the time of
his visit.
Sri Lankan pilgrims to those places, unmoved by the
heavy security blanket that rang the visiting military
chief, went closer to him and held his hands warmly,
and in some instances, some even knelt down before him
in a moving gesture of affection and sheer respect for
what he has been doing to rid their motherland of terrorism.
