Pelaksanaan Tradisi Menjaga Makam Selama 7 Malam di Desa Racek

Abstract

Indonesia is a pluralistic and heterogeneous country. Various religions, tribes, cultures and customs grow and develop on this earth. It is this diversity that forms Indonesia's identity as a nation. As in Racek Village, Probolinggo Regency, there is a tradition that is still carried out to this day, which is often called jaga mayyit by the surrounding community. The jaga mayyit tradition is an activity where the community guards the body that has just been buried, this tradition is carried out with the aim of keeping the body from being stolen by a creature that the local community believes is jenglot. The purpose of this research is to examine the actions of people who feel less respect for sacred places such as graves. The method we used for this research is ABCD. The results of the research show that technological developments affect not only on the positive side but also negatively, such as the use of sound systems in inappropriate places such as graves. It is hoped that people will become more aware of the sacredness of places such as graves and act accordingly.
