Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the symbolic meaning of the Lopis Raksasa tradition which plays a role in strengthening religious moderation in the Krapyak community. The Lopis Raksasa tradition is a local wisdom that not only represents ancestral values but also becomes a medium for social education. This study uses a qualitative analytical approach to explore the symbolic meaning of local traditions that are in line with ethnopedagogy. The results of the study show that, first, the Lopis Raksasa tradition has a symbolic meaning that symbolizes the unity of society and social strength; second, the Lopis Raksasa tradition functions as an effective ethnopedagogy in building awareness of local traditions as a character builder of society, third, the Lopis Raksasa tradition not only reflects socio-cultural dynamics, but becomes a force in building harmony and unity. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of preserving local traditions as an instrument to strengthen religious moderation in a multicultural society.
