Hi Hivers

This time I will discuss a spiritual culture of religion in our society, which has been believed since the 12th century AD.

One of the highly disciplined cultures in Acehnese society is spiritual religion. This culture is called Celebration or Nazar. This culture has been carried out from generation to generation, one of which is the descent of the baby to the grave.

In addition, there are those who vow to pray circumcision, feasts, and so on. However, this time I will discuss a little about the vows about descending the baby land.

Long before the celebration was carried out, the descent of the baby's land to the kuburun was one of the elements of belief, which must be held at the graves of the saints or the graves of scholars. Where to add spirituality, people who make a vow have planned ahead of time if in the future they will carry it out in the grave.

The thing that is done when the baby is buried in the ground is to bathe him with coconut water. The coconut is split open and the water is poured over the baby's head to take the blessings of life. And the prayer strings read by the mukaddim to be more solemn.

The celebration is a form of promise or sacred bond that has been promised between humans and God. If a fortune favors or a promise has been fulfilled, it is called a celebration.

It can't be arbitrary, spiritual must be done by experts who already understand or understand this matter. Then the promise with God will be fulfilled when it is released. That is why religion strongly recommends that this vow be done as well as possible so as not to sin.

Wow. I haven't heard it before. Is it during this period that the child's naming is also done?

@debbie-ese (61), Thank you for visiting, don't forget to follow us. In my opinion, this tradition exists in Indonesia, in the form of ancestral heritage only from the 12th century until now

I find this form of baptism very interesting. It made it difficult for a person baptized with coconut water not to become a great person. This fruit is a special gift from the gods, no wonder they chose this fruit and its water for such an important blessing. Thank you @afridany1

@bravofenix, Wow, is the coconut in your place considered a relic of the gods? something really amazing turned out. Thankyou.

Yes, it is really a very delicious fruit that always gives that special touch to meals, accompanying both desserts and a meal for lunch, dinner or a piece of bread for breakfast with coffee with milk. Take care
