Gunung Jati usually becomes a Tayuban tradition place which is conducted by Jatirenggo’s people. This tradition has been passed down from generation to generation. If this tradition is not carried out again, it is believed that there will be a disaster / pageblug (epidemic of disease) that affected people. So, This tradition is an obligation of society in order to be protected from the accident.
Tayub is an abbreviation of "ditoto nganti guyub ". The meaning is about togetherness. Every Monday Legi in Suro, there’s always Tayuban’s Tradition. In that day, Jatirenggo’s people work together to clean the graves of their ancestors in Gunung Jati. This tradition begins with reading Qur’an at night. Then the next day, all people with government village go to Djati’s Mount with bringing foods, tumpeng (the rice are shaped into a large big triangle), as well as ingkung (a chicken stew popular in Central Java). They have several series of events that comprising reception of government village, all people praying together, and they make Javanese’s promise. Then during the day, there is a peak event that many people are looking forward to. It is the appearance of Tayub’s Group.
This tradition rise due to the incident that affect to people’s mind. Long time ago, some people of Jatirenggo had affected by a disease that no one can be cured, until they must be separated to the field because its dangerous. Soon, there were two buskers of Javanese music players and a dancer (tandak). They went to a place, they performed dances and music respectfully. After that, the people that had affected by disease were interested to see them and they were so crowded when they watched it. Unexpectedly, the people who had disease suddenly healed by watching them. And a moment later, The busking group went nowhere . For the honor of the players, every Monday Legi in Suro,
Jatirenggo’s people held Tayuban event being tradition until now.
For example when the thirteenth village chief was on his duty, people didn’t carry out the tradition. Once upon a time, a woman promised that his son would continued the tradition of Tayuban, but someday he forgot. So, his mother was sick. When his son remembered his mother’s promised, he did the tradition of Tayuban. Then, his mother recovered immediately. This became a recurring thing in the next year. Again, a woman fell sick and then she died.
Before she died there was someone had been dreaming, he saw a shroud flying around the Jatirenggo and came off exactly on that woman’s house. From that story, the people of Jatirenggo firmly believe that a disaster will always come if the Tayub’s Tradition is not carried out.
