Today, Sunday, December 26, 2021, every year in the City of Aceh, a collective prayer is held starting in the morning around 08.00 WIB until 11.00 WIB. Every December 26, every year all Acehnese people pray together, either in mass graves scattered in various areas in Aceh City, where their families were not found before, or in mosques that have been appointed by bringing famous religious leaders. from the capital city. All Acehnese gathered to commemorate and pray together, praying for their families who had died when the Tsunami hit Aceh City on December 26, 2004 ago, at 08.00 WIB, to be exact.
One of the commemorative events that we visited today was a prayer together to commemorate the 17th anniversary of the Aceh Tsunami at the Great Mosque of Lampuuk. This mosque is right on the coast of Lampuuk. This is where this morning starting from 08.00 WIB until 11.00 WIB, a prayer is held together. all local residents flocked here, security officers were deployed to secure the event, mosque charities also took part, all residents who came to the commemoration event without exception distributed breakfast to residents who came to pray, and there was also a drink stand , everything is distributed free of charge without being charged anything.
Not only breakfast is distributed, local residents also work together to cook rice in large quantities, around 1000 rice wraps which are cooked together in the backyard of the mosque. Not only the rice, but complete with beef rendang and drinks. which later the rice will be distributed to residents who have finished praying to commemorate the 17th day of the Aceh tsunami.
For those of you who will visit the city of Aceh, you should avoid December 26, because every date is also almost all community activities, tourist attractions, shopping places, on average they are closed for half a day to commemorate and commemorate the Tsunami Tragedy 17 years ago. They will reopen at around 13.30 WIB. So we recommend that those of you who have a very short vacation time don't take the day that is close to the tsunami warning so that all the vacation time you have scheduled can be more effective and efficient.
That was a piece of the story about the Tsunami warning in Aceh City, hopefully there will be no other major disasters or disasters in this city, this country and all of your countries, stay happy, take care of your health, and continue to follow our vacation trip in a city full of history, a city with beautiful beaches and charming villages in Banda Aceh City.
