Abstract

The rituals and the symbols embedded therein serve as markers of national identity and sources of inspiration for harmony within Indonesia’s multi-religious society. The researcher posits that the San Juan ritual and its accompanying symbols function as mediums for fostering social cohesion and hold significant implications for the promotion of religious moderation in Indonesia. This study seeks to explore the spiritual significance of the San Juan ritual as a contribution to the formation of a cohesive society grounded in the principles of religious moderation. The study adopts an anthropological and sociological approach. Data were obtained through field observations and structured interviews with 25 informants, including cultural leaders, religious leaders, government officials, educators, and youth. The data were analyzed in three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and data verification, utilizng two analytical techniques—descriptive analysis and content analysis. The analysis of the rituals, their symbols, and the behavior of ritual participants is key to understanding the social structures and processes, as well as the broader social phenomena at play. This study finds that, in light of Victor Turner’s theoretical framework, the San Juan ritual—especially the candle (lilen) as its central symbol—serves both to reinforce the identity of the San Juan community and to act as a conduit for fostering social cohesion that supports religious moderation in Indonesia. This implicational meaning also contributes to the scholarly discourse in the sociology and anthropology of religion.

Abstract

One of the concerns raised in the pastoral panorama during the Eighth Pastoral Assembly (Muspas) of the Archdiocese of Ende is the lack of interest among children and teenagers in activities related to the Holy Scriptures. This reality is also keenly felt in the pastoral work of the Quasi-Parish of St. Charles Borromeo in Orakeri. Generally, Catholic children and teenagers lack enthusiasm and quickly become bored with Sekami activities that are too monotonous and lacking in variety. Furthermore, the limited number of competent leaders at the parish level and the lack of knowledge about the Scriptures contribute to the decreasing interest and affection of children and teenagers towards the Holy Scriptures. This service activity is conducted for the target groups of Catholic children and teenagers in the Quasi-Parish of St. Charles Borromeo in Orakeri Ende. The main objective is to enrich knowledge about the Holy Scriptures, hone skills in relation to Scripture literacy, and enhance the love of children and teenagers for the Holy Scriptures. The method used in this activity is a qualitative method that involves participatory action research in the form of lectures and simple yet meaningful practices, involving many participants. Activities include: introducing the Holy Scriptures with the help of cheers, movements, songs, and animated videos; Scripture literacy through training in reading and speaking the Scriptures, composing scripts and dramatizing the Scriptures, as well as various competitions related to the Scriptures. This combination of methods is aimed at minimizing participant boredom while simultaneously encouraging the development of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects among the participants. Consequently, the results achieved are that Catholic children and teenagers have a deeper understanding of the Holy Scriptures, sharpen skills related to Scripture literacy, and grow in their love for the Holy Scriptures.
