However when the location of graves of the old with the new location far apart, then the bones should be in store in the church. In the process of digging or include bones, should not be accompanied by tortor, gondang and music and also not running a funeral agenda.

2.4 Motivation of Mangongkal Holi

Spirit to achieve wealth, success and glory have been become a major motivator for them to achieve progress in life all fields. This spirit was also formed for the persistence of Batak people fight for everything to reach for their dream. In bisang agriculture, the presence of paddy fields which very extensive areas along the east coast

North Sumatra Batak people is evidence of persistence in farming. In few years later people began to enjoy the success of Batak business his trouble. Success was achieved in a stormy area of employment, be it in government, commerce, education, military, and others agriculture. As a religious community, this success to the stimulation to give a thank-you ceremony conformed to his religious beliefs. Unfortunately, religi Batak ancestral religion which is still powerful and not thickened by the ministry of the church, have made people Batak

to the religious beliefs of our ancestors adapted to Christianity. Thanksgiving is not given to the heavenly Father in Jesus Christ.

That success makes people go back to worshiping Batak ancestral spirits for all the blessings that have been granted to the offspring.

Adoration is the highest honor given to the spirit of people dead. Worshiping ancestors is done by building a monument clan father ancestors. They consider the construction of the monument is the most secure in the realization of religious beliefs in the middle of the length Christian community. Cult worship deemed not to constitute ancestral spirits. Therefore adoration and worship is an act of equally associated with the spirits of the dead. Everything is opposed by the word of God. Construction of the monument made by the entire clan descendants parent

wherever they are located.

Monument towering ancestor worship was built with a variety of model in accordance with the wishes of each clan. This development to do by collecting funds of all descendants of the clan, through "punguan clan"(union) in various cities and towns or in the village.

both those in native town (bona pasogit), as well as for those in overseas (parserahan). In the monument, they prepare a place for the bones (saringsaring) clan patriarchs. Before the bones of our father was transferred, then they usually use the services to find the location of healer (Datu) The actual grave, so there were no errors in the event mangongkal holi, because mistakes can lead to anger from the spiritfather's clan.

The luxury and bigness of the monument is a sign of the party, or many blessings received by the descendants of a clan of ancestor spirits. All the blessings that symbolizes the grandeur and greatness Sahala spirit of it, therefore is proper given an honored place for him, as an expression of thanks from the entire

offspring (pinomparna).

Filter-laying ancestors filter means providing a great place

to the ancestral spirits were honored before the various spirits of other dead, or before the Batak community alliance in the world. This form of glory (Hasangapon) given by descendants of a clan to their ancestors. The entire batch (donations) given by the entire clan descendant It is a transfer of a portion of their life force to the spirit ancestor. Giving a food, either buffalo or pig that which is sacrificed to the hula-hula clan, is a sign of sacrifice and all the offspring

ofconquest was to God, which is the origin spirits of their ancestor. By offering it, to request blessing again great ancestors to all the descendants of the clan these.

Human resources for the Batak people is very important. Formidable force that can only be built in a lot of people. This is closely connected with the history of the Batak tribes destined to have a culture that is very high competition. Hagabeon concept rooted, of the competitive culture in ancient times, even recorded in the history of the development, manifested in the war huta. In this traditional war powers in the amount of teacher anymore

8. PENGAYOMAN

In the socio-cultural life of Batak people less powerful than the values of the foregoing. This may be due to the high-yield independence. The presence of protector, protector, giver of prosperity, only needed in an urgent situation.

In the process of excavation is also party to a church to attend. Before going to the place of graves to be dug, the whole family gathered beforehand at one of the houses of the deceased child to be explored. Usually at home is the home life of the youngest child.

(Social prestige) against other clans. Way be taken as one way to gain recognition from other clans will be greatness or the glory of his surname.

They really wanted to show that his surname has descended from many have very high educational, a lot of wealth, position high, and various other greatness. For people who are overseas, their participation in the party's monument, is also an opportunity

to showcase their excellence and success in the overseas, to clan relatives of those who are in native town (bona pasogit). The spirit of doing "social prestige exhibition" This has caused race among the Batak to implement the party probably as good as his surname with the monument.

They want to show that his surname is not inferior to other clans, even if you can shows that they are much more powerful clans of other clan

These bonds would then cause a high sense of solidarity in among the descendants of one clan, and gives pride of the clan they have. But even more importantly, all the offspring of our father again affirmed his spiritual ties with the ancestral spirits. Thus the

next time they will return to perform rituals expressed thanks to the ancestor worship of all that has been received.
