A woman holds a cross as she prays with a group of Orthodox Catholics to try to stop a late evening demonstration demanding the removal of a wooden cross commemorating Poland's late leader Lech Kaczynski erected in front of the presidential palace in Warsaw on August 9, 2010. The crucifix has long been a strong symbol of national identity in deeply Catholic Poland, especially in the post-war period until 1989 under nearly half a century of communism when Poland was officially atheist.
