It reported that "[d]ozens were killed in one of the blasts at St. Sebastian’s Gothic-style Catholic church in Katuwapitiya, north of Colombo." [2]
Another headline: "Seven arrested as Sri Lanka bombings death toll passes 200" is also by Reuter. [3]
The caption under a photograph in the article reads: "Sri Lankan military stand guard in front of the St. Anthony's Shrine, Kochchikade church after an explosion in Colombo, Sri Lanka". [4]
Another Reuters article with the same name as the one first cited above, but has a different link, reported that "[t]he hotels hit in Colombo were the Shangri-La, the Kingsbury, the Cinnamon Grand and the Tropical Inn near the national zoo. There was no word on casualties in the hotels, but a witness told local TV he saw some body parts, including a severed head, lying on the ground beside the Tropical Inn.
"The first six explosions were all reported within a short period in the morning just as church services were starting." [5]
Those who planned the bombs must be rejoicing.

Easter or not, Christ's crucifixion continues, on a daily basis, somewhere in the world, whether or not on a scale that is newsworthy. This will end when Christ returns.
From Luke 12:2-5 [6] [quoted without footnote]:
2
“There is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known.
3
Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be proclaimed on the housetops.
4
I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body but after that can do no more.
5
I shall show you whom to fear. Be afraid of the one who after killing has the power to cast into Gehenna; yes, I tell you, be afraid of that one.
[4] Ibid..
