A statue of Mother Mary and Jesus, still inside a crate in the parish of St. Joannes Baptista in Parung. It has applied to have a building permit for more than two decades. Religious minorities have difficulties securing building permits in Indonesia, especially since 2006 when the government introduced “religious harmony” regulation.
