The Cathedral of Indonesia. Located just across the Great Mosque of Istiqlal, symbol of peace between two biggest religions in the world, Christianity and Islam. A must visit place in Indonesia.

I have been two times attending mass at this Jakarta Cathedral. First time when I was single around Y2003. Now in Y2025, I came together with my daughters. Feeling blessed and very excited.
