LARANTUKA, EAST NUSA TENGGARA, INDONESIA - APRIL 18: Catholic worshippers carry a box containing a statue of Jesus Christ during the sea procession to another church by wooden boat as part of Holy Week celebrations, known as 'Semana Santa' on April 18, 2014 in Larantuka, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Easter celebrations in Larantuka started in the 16th century, when Portuguese missionaries entered and acculturated the local people. The ritual appeals to the pilgrims and people from various regions in Indonesia, who come to follow the procession. Holy Week marks the last week of Lent and the beginning of Easter celebrations. Catholics make up approximately three percent of the population of the predominantly Muslim country. (Photo by Ulet Ifansasti/Getty Images)
