Indonesia marks Christmas in peace

JAKARTA (JP): Christians marked peaceful Christmas Wednesday amid tight security at churches across the country.

In Jakarta, where some 300,000 police and military officers were deployed to safeguard churches during Chirstmas celebration, worshippers attended masses peacefully.

Fellow Christians in other areas, including in Bali and Makassar where bombs exploded recently, also enjoyed similar peaceful celebration, Antara reported.

They underwent strict security measures before entering churches.

On Chirstmas Eve in 2000, bombs rocked dozens of churches and buildings in several cities, leaving 19 people dead.
