The ‘passion’ and ‘Easter’ of abducted Indian Jesuit priest
Jesuit priest Fr Alexis Prem Kumar from southern India’s Tamil Nadu state, was
kidnapped by unknown gunmen last June 2, near Herat in western Afghanistan, while
visiting a school for returnee refugees run by the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS).
After over 8 months of captivity, the priest was released on Feb. 22 and is back
home. On the occasion of Easter, the 47-year old priest reflected on his 263-day
imprisonment, saying it was his participation in the Passion of Christ, and now he
is living his Easter freedom.
