27 MARCH 2016 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Men give out holy water after Easter services at Santa Cruz Church in Bangkok. Santa Cruz was one of the first Catholic churches established in Bangkok. It was built in the late 1700s by Portuguese soldiers allied with King Taksin the Great in his battles against the Burmese who invaded Thailand (then Siam). There are about 300,000 Catholics in Thailand, in 10 dioceses with 436 parishes. Easter marks the resurrection of Jesus after his crucifixion and is celebrated in Christian communities around the world.      PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
