Different from other areas, 400 Catholics who live on the outskirts of Padang City, West Sumatra Province have to struggle to celebrate Christmas in their church.

The video recorded, December 26 2025, shows approximately 400 Catholics having to climb a steep path with their siblings and children to get to St. Stephen's Church which is 3 KM from residential areas into the forest to the location of St. Stephen's Church.

"Even though we celebrate with all the limitations with a church made of wood, the road to the church is steep and difficult to provide lighting. We are still enthusiastic about bringing your family and children to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ," said the head of the St. Stephen's Church administrator, named Yarmain Jaya. Zain.

To provide security, dozens of guards were deployed to protect hundreds of Catholics from worshiping.

"We take care of our brothers so they can worship properly, guiding their journey so they don't fall or get attacked by wild animals," said the police chief for the Bungus Teluk Kabung area, Al Indra.
