Abstract

Perang Obor is an annual tradition in Tegalsambi Village, Tahunan District, Jepara Regency, that holds significant historical, cultural, and local wisdom values. The tradition originates from an oral tale about a conflict between Kiai Babadan and Ki Gemblong, which culminated in the use of torches as weapons, believed to heal livestock and serve as a form of earth-offering ritual. This study aims to explore the origins, ceremonial sequence, and community perspectives of Perang Obor through an ethnohistorical approach combining historical sources, oral narratives, and field observations. The three-day procession begins with ancestral thanksgiving rituals, buffalo sacrifice, wayang kulit performances, communal feasts, and concludes with a symbolic and controlled torch battle. The community perceives it as an expression of gratitude, a means to ward off misfortune, a tribute to ancestors, and a reinforcement of solidarity. Furthermore, the tradition serves as both a cultural identity and a tourism attraction. In conclusion, Perang Obor functions as a cultural heritage that integrates spiritual, social, and economic values while strengthening community unity amid modernization.

Abstract

This research examines the manifestation of syncretism in Dusun Catak, Kebonagung Village, Sumowono District, Semarang Regency, with a focus on the tradition of offering sesajen and its interaction with Islamic teachings. The aims of this research are to understand how syncretism is manifested in the lives of the Dusun Catak community, to comprehend the history of Dusun Catak, and to analyze the Islamic perspective on the practice of offering sesajen carried out by the Dusun Catak community. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method, combining literature study by exploring previous research, conducting direct observations at the research location for four days, and performing in-depth interviews with several informants. The results show that syncretism in Dusun Catak is manifested in a unique form, where the tradition of sesajen adapts to Islamic teachings. The Dusun Catak community also preserves the village's historical traditions by passing them down through generations. The placement of sesajen is carried out in specific locations. The practice of offering sesajen is regarded as a form of local wisdom that is not perceived as deviating from religious norms by the community; although the offerings are placed in various locations and are associated with respect for the ancestors of the Catak community, the practice is understood as part of a cultural tradition that is integrated with the Islamic values upheld by the community.
