Christian Minorities Gather To Celebrate Christmas In Indonesia

BANDA ACEH, INDONESIA - DECEMBER 24: Christian worshipers receive communion during Christmas Eve mass at Hati Kudus church on December 24, 2014 in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Aceh is the only province to implement Sharia law in Indonesia. Christmas is a national holiday in Indonesia, despite only eight percent of the population identifying as Christian. Aceh was the worst hit location, being the closest major city to the epicenter of the 9.1 magnitude earthquake, suffering a huge hit from the resulting tsunami that caused around 130,000 deaths. Throughout the affected region of eleven countries, nearly 230,000 people were killed, making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. (Photo by Ulet Ifansasti/Getty Images)
