Pope Francis holds his statue of Our Lady of Madhu at the Madhu church in Madhu on January 14, 2015. Pope Francis said there must be "reparation" for the "evil" committed during Sri Lanka's civil war, as he visited a Catholic shrine that was on the front line of the conflict. The pope also called for forgiveness from victims of the 37-year conflict, which killed 100,000 people and devastated the Tamil-dominated north of the country. AFP PHOTO / ISHARA S. KODIKARA
