The government sets Sunday, 3 April 2022 as the beginning of fasting in the holy month of Ramadan 1443 Hijri. In some areas, there is a tradition of welcoming the coming of fasting.
Like the residents of Banyuwangi and its surroundings who come to the antidote spring in Ketapang Village, Kalipuro District, Banyuwangi Regency, began to be visited by people.
That said, water gushing from a source in a hill, diyakini bisa menjadi “penawar” bahkan “menyembuhkan” berbagai macam penyakit.
The water is clear and fresh, making the local community and visitors from across the region compete to bring water containers to drink every day.
And especially before fasting, kesegaran “air penawar” dengan sejuta “khasiat” yang diyakini, become the reason for residents to save it as provisions for breaking the fast and sahur.
