This tradition has seven main symbols, namely Friday, wingka, crossroads, krawu gedhang raja, muddy lumbu, paruk and split up. The seven symbols that after interpreting their meaning using Victor Turner’s symbol interpretation theory revealed that each symbol has noble values and moral messages that are in harmony with Islamic teachings. Broken traditions are generally held on Friday located at crossroads.
