Indonesia - Good Friday in Medan

Location: Graha Maria Annai Velangkanni Catholic Church, Medan

Good Friday in Medan this year. Attended mass at this rather unique church that looks more like a Hindu temple. Probably one of the more interesting churches I've ever come across. The sides of the circular walkway that goes up to the 1st floor is decorated with paintings of what went on in each of the 6 days that God took to create earth. There are also phrases taken from the bible written in 4 diff languages seen around the inside of the church. At the back of the Chapel, we collected some Holy Water to bring home.
