Lebaran day is a special day for moslem people. After do fasting for a month, avoid eating, drinking, smoking and soon at noon they celebrate their succeed of defeating the devil. On Lebaran Day all moslems are back to zero. it mean God have forgiven us of all of their mistakes for the last one year.commonly, on Lebaran day they come back to their home town visiting their parents (if they still alive ) and their relatives. In Indonesia we called it "mudik" or going back to home town. one week before lebaran day, they start their travel to their home town. They use all public transportation available, trains ,buses, ships and aeroplanes although the condition of public transportations at that time are very crowded and ticket's prices are very expensive. they save their money for 1 year somtime in order to use it for buy the tickets when they celebrate Lebaran Day.
On Lebaran day, they usually meet at the oldest brother or sister. All the younger will come to the older and request for forgivness. They shake their hand and the younger kiss the hand of the older while saying some words ask for forgivness. Same as me, I and my family visited my parents in Lombok island which has beautiful scenery and full of traditional arts. My parents live in Mataram city which is Capitol of West Nusa Tenggara and they have been there since 1976. Almost All of my brothers and sisters met at my parents house except one of my sister because she followed her husband to Bandung to visit her parents in law. We woke up early, take a shower in turn, because my parents only have one bath room. We put on clean moslem dresses and clothes and prepared to do idul fitri pray. excatly at 07.00 the pray started in very quite situation, all participants followed the ritual seriously. After prayed, we make a line and forgive each other by shaking our hands. To complete our ritual, started from Lebaran day until 1 month later, we visit our relatives or friends house to keep our relationship between each other.
Lebaran day in Indonesia is almost same every where. We have same cultures and traditions. There are only a little bit differences between each part of Indonesia. As young generations , we must keep this traditions as our custom to make we different from other countries in the world.
