Roman Catholic worshippers pray in front of a Tuan Ma (Mother Mary) statue at a church
Roman Catholic worshippers pray in front of a Tuan Ma (Mother Mary) statue at a church during Holy Week in Larantuka on Flores island April 1, 2010. Worshippers said they visit five churches to celebrate the 500 year anniversary of the discovery of the Tuan Ma (Mother Mary) statue. They believe the statue, which was found in Flores in 1510, is the basis of a new religion that has replaced animism on the island. Government data in 2008 showed that more than 80 percent of residents on Flores Island are Roman Catholic in a predominantly Muslim country.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, Roman Catholic worshippers are captured in a moment of deep prayer and devotion in front of a Tuan Ma (Mother Mary) statue at a church during Holy Week in Larantuka on Flores island. The year is 2010, marking the 500th anniversary since the discovery of the revered statue. The image showcases the profound religious significance that this sacred figure holds for these devout followers. It is believed that the Tuan Ma statue, discovered in Flores back in 1510, has become the foundation of a new religion that has replaced animism on the island. Despite being situated within Indonesia, which predominantly follows Islam as its main religion, Flores Island stands out with over 80% of its residents identifying as Roman Catholic according to government data from 2008. This photograph not only captures an intimate moment between worshippers and their spiritual icon but also serves as a testament to faith's ability to transcend boundaries and unite communities. The devotion displayed by these individuals exemplifies their unwavering belief and commitment to their religious practices. Photographer Beawiharta skillfully captures both the solemnity and strength emanating from this scene through his lens. This powerful image invites viewers to contemplate spirituality's role within diverse societies while highlighting how it can shape individual lives and entire communities alike.
