" Big harvest in North Minahasa"

The first pronunciation was the day
after the big harvest carried out by the
tribes in Minahasa. They celebrate it
by sharing the harvest with their
family or closest relatives by enjoying
the harvest, but now the
Pronunciation Ceremony is held at the
church and then continues at home
with family and relatives.
When viewed from the historical side of
the Toumbulu people, the pronunciation
comes from the Foso Rummages
tradition. The term foso means ritual and
rummages is an old Minahasa language
which comes from the word rages, which
means offerings made sincerely to God or
Gods (but some are given to ancestral
spirits).
Meanwhile, the Toubantik community knows the
Poposaden system, which means mutual
cooperation. Usually the family or close relatives
will go together to harvest the garden produce, then
the results will be shared among the family and
close relatives as a form of gratitude to God for the
abundant blessings.
After the influence of Christianity entered the
Minahasa community, rituals were no longer
performed by most people. However, the values ​of
expressing gratitude to God for the harvest day are
still attached, so that the villagers will bring their
food or agricultural products to the church, then the
people will sit and eat together.
In today's era, the tradition of thanksgiving has
begun to transform into a banquet held in the
churchyard. Various processed foods from the
community are put together at a long table and then
eaten together, including guests who come from far
away. This is a symbol of affirmation so that village
people always share their blessings with others.
After the event at the church is over,
residents then return to their homes to
prepare to entertain family or relatives
