In this Thursday, April 25, 2019 photo, a stained-glass window stands broken at Sebastian’s Church, where a suicide bomber blew himself up on Easter Sunday in Negombo, north of Colombo, Sri Lanka. Nearly a week later, the smell of death is everywhere, though the bodies are long gone. Yet somehow, thereâ€™s a beauty to St. Sebastianâ€™s, a neighborhood church in a Catholic enclave north of Sri Lankaâ€™s capital. You can see the beauty in the broken stained-glass windows. Itâ€™s there as the sun shines through the roofâ€™s gaping holes. Itâ€™s there in the little statues that refused to fall over, and despite the swarms of police and soldiers who seem to be everywhere now in the streets of the seaside town of Negombo.
