A bomb blast outside a church in the Pakistani city of Peshawar has killed at least 40 people and injured more than 40, medics say.
A bomb disposal officer said two suicide bombers blew themselves up outside the church when people were coming out after Sunday Mass.
The victims were said to include women and children.
Islamist militants have been blamed for previous such attacks on Pakistan's Christian minority.
Christians make up about 1.6% of Pakistan's mainly Muslim population.
No-one has admitted carrying out the attack.
Witnesses said they heard two blasts, the second more powerful than the first.
Police officer Zahir Shah said he believed suicide bombers were involved.
About 500 to 600 people were believed to have been inside the church at the time.
Grieving relatives have gathered to identify their relatives.
Many in Pakistan's Christian minority are angry at the country's failure to tackle militancy and extremism, which has claimed thousands of lives within the past decade, says the BBC's Shahzeb Jillani in Karachi.
