hallo friend steemit this time i will tell you about a culture where i live.
With regard to the birth of children, known in the people of South Aceh the term Turun be ai. The literal meaning is down to the water, but in the culture of the people of South Aceh, the term is not only literally understood, it means an event or activity to bring a child to a certain place (usually to the mosque) to be bathed by a midwife handling his birth, the event is usually done on the 44th day after the child was born. After the child was washed, he was brought into the mosque for the sanction and diiqamatkan, although when he was born he has also been denied and diiqamatkan, This watering event is also a symbol of the beginning of the child has been brought out of the house.
In the series of watering, usually also held a thief at night by inviting a number of relatives and officials of customs and laws in the village concerned, then held a prayer together for safety later by the host handed the betel a ceranoe plate to the invited tengku and ask to the tengku to name the child.
Pecicap is basically an additional event where when a baby child is brought down from home, he is held by one of the indigenous grooms on one of the stairs with a drawn sword, the customary cockroach stops and diverts the baby to his shrouded hands cloth, then facing the door. There was a man standing with a machete in his right hand and an old coconut that had been peeled in his left hand, then he split the coconut usually with a single drop above the baby on his back, but his face was open, The first time in such an event is with coconut water.
After the coconut water has spilled over the baby, then the bearer who from the beginning holds the sword drawn down four or five men of his age are waiting for him with his sword drawn as well, when the baby's cuddle is near them, then they shine together while brandishing each other's swords, and this silat lasts just a few minutes with great fanfare.
The man who broke the coconut, as he held the baby up to the ground he stretched out a side of the coconut that he had split to the south over the ridge of the house, and again he threw it toward the north somewhere he came.
The activity of throwing coconut to the south and north in the show down as a tangent above it presumably contains hope that this child will be able to travel to leave the house successfully, either to study, seek sustenance and establish ukuwah (brotherhood) and silaturrahmi, step off and not experiencing significant obstacles and obstacles. That meaning is symbolically expressed.
But the gameplay was only done to boys only (baby boy), because at that time I just photographed baby girl so only that picture that I can serve.
