Mandi-Mandi is a key New Year's holiday held on the first Sunday after the New Year. This party is mostly done by villagers "young people" and even old people. They rub the face of other people, from women to men or vice versa to fellow friends, of course the accompaniment of music is not left behind, sorry for forgiving one another. This event is actually intended for villagers 'young people' in finding a life partner, but then followed by older people as well so that it takes place full of excitement and very lively.
<p>In Kampung Tugu every Christmas Eve children bring torches to the homes of the families of mardjikers while praying in Portuguese: Bintisinko he is in Dicember nos Sior he is bi mundu. Libro Nos Pekador. Purple noti in kera fera assi klar coma in him andju in nos Sior dialegria (On December 25 our Lord came to the world. Save us sinners. On Thursday night which is as bright as day, God bestows the night as bright as day, God bless us great happiness).
</p><p>In honor of Christmas, for those who are adults, on December 24-31 abstinence from drinking alcoholic beverages. In the New Year, they celebrate a shower party, a party smearing their faces with liquid powder in their respective homes. The meaning as a form of error has been forgiven.
</p><p>This tradition is carried out as an expression of gratitude. What is unique from the Mandi-Mandi tradition is that each citizen scribbles each other's faces with white liquid powder. This white liquid powder describes a new life with a new soul in the new year. Mandi Mandi is a gathering of all the families of the fam monument to gather at one of your relatives' houses who are willing to use their place on the first Sunday in January.
