Galle Face, Colombo, Sri Lanka. 18th December 2014. Preparations for Pope's visit to Sri Lanka next month are under way. A steel platform is being constructed on Galle Face Green, a posh area of the capital. An open-air mass will be held here on January 14th, 2015. Sri Lanka is predominantly Buddhist, but minorities enjoy ample freedom. Muslims, Christians and Hindus co-exist in peace with the Buddhists. Credit: Henryk Kotowski/Alamy Live News
