Selamatan (slametan) — the Javanese communal ritual meal that marks every significant life event: birth, circumcision, marriage, death, moving to a new house, starting a business, recovering from illness, and dozens of other occasions. The selamatan is NOT a party — it is a prayer gathering. The food is prepared, prayers are offered, and the food is distributed to guests who take it home.
