The hollowed out shell of St Peter’s church lies on the beach in Mullaitivu, in north-eastern Sri Lanka.
Just metres from the sea, only the facade remains. The rest was destroyed by December’s tsunami.
Chandran Siskandaraja used to attend church regularly, from his fishing village just a few kilometres away.
“I always found solace here. It was a place of refuge from my troubles,” he told the BBC News website.
Now he comes here every evening with several other fellow fishermen.
All of them have one thing in common - they are widowers after the tidal wave claimed their wives.
