Eid of the Past
Eid in the Past
Hello, welcome back to the Social Sciences channel.
In this video, we will discuss Ramadan activities and Eid al-Fitr celebrations in the past, particularly during the Dutch colonial era.
In some cities, such as Semarang, people had the custom of flocking to the town square to witness the announcement of the start of Ramadan fasting. This announcement was usually accompanied by the loud sounds of drums and cannons. Uniquely, the announcement of the fast one day before Ramadan was accompanied by a culinary bazaar, which was very popular at the time. Meanwhile, in Yogyakarta and Solo, there was also the tradition of "gerebeg puasa" (fasting walk), held near the end of the fasting month.
Officially, congregational Eid prayers in open spaces began in the late 1920s. This occurred after receiving approval from the colonial government.
It was also during this period that Eid began to feature festivities in the form of competitions. Such competitions include sack races, walking on bamboo poles across ponds, and other competitions that were eventually adopted for the August 17th Independence Day celebrations after Indonesia's independence.
