Perayaan Tahun Baru Zaman Dulu

Seperti kita ketahu, tradisi perayaan tahun baru di beberapa negara terkait dengan ritual keagamaan atau kepercayaan mereka—yang tentu saja sangat bertentangan dengan Islam. Contohnya di Brazil. Pada tengah malam setiap tanggal 1 Januari, orang-orang Brazil berbondong-bondong menuju pantai dengan pakaian putih bersih. Mereka menaburkan bunga di laut, mengubur mangga, pepaya dan semangka di pasir pantai sebagai tanda penghormatan terhadap sang dewa Lemanja—Dewa laut yang terkenal dalam legenda negara Brazil.

Ancient New Year's Eve

As we've known, the tradition of new year's eve celebration in some countries is closely related to religious or beliefs rites--which is of course contrary to Islam. Brazil, for an example. People gather in droves at midnight on January 1st, walking toward beaches while having dressed in white. They sow flowers on the shore, bury mangoes, papayas and watermelon under beach sand as a symbol of worship for Lemanja--a popular sea god in Brazilian legend.
