Religion and Culture: The Construction of Religious Harmony in Bersih Desa Traditions East Java Indonesia

Indonesian society is known as a heterogeneous society, having ethnic, religious and cultural diversity. Tradition has been rooted for generations so that it is difficult to separate from every practice of social life, moreover Indonesian people in ancient times believed in metaphysical things which then had an impact on the obligation to carry out religious ceremonies as a form of maintaining good relations with metaphysical things. Rudolf Otto did this as part of human responsibility towards the sacred, and the sacred is the highest power, so that responsibility towards the sacred has implications for the implementation of religious or ceremonial actions. For Durkheim, it has an impact on the obligation to behave religiously. The bersih desa tradition carried out by the community is one of the routine practices carried out every year, interestingly the implementation of this tradition is followed by people who have different religious backgrounds. Research on this bersih desa tradition is carried out holistically, this is to get a complete picture of the expression of the community in carrying out the tradition, as well as the meaning of its implementation in terms of socio-religious relations.

This research resulted in the findings of three main values in the implementation of the village clean tradition; 1). Theological value. 2). Ecological value, and. 3). Sociological value
