Two suicide bombers blew themselves up at the historic All Saints Church in Peshawar, Pakistan, on September 22, as around 600 worshipers were leaving mass. So far at least 78 people have died and scores more have been wounded following the largest attack on the Christian community in Pakistan in many years. Protests demanding more protection for religious minorities have cropped up across the country since the bombing. In this picture, a Christian woman mourns the loss of her brother.
