Pakistan: Church mourns its martyrs and urges against violence
Two Catholics have given their lives to prevent a bigger massacre. At the funeral, the Archbishop of Lahore called on Christians to react “with prayers only”.
Their names were Akash Bashir (19) and Zahid Yousaf (42). They are the latest martyrs of the Catholic Church of Pakistan. These are the two men who sacrificed themselves in front of St. John’s church in order to stop suicide bombers from blowing themselves up among the faithful attending Sunday mass.
