    Mount Bromo

    Long long time ago there lived a couple in the village near the top of mount Bromo. Joko Seger is his name. He lived peacefully with his wife Roro Anteng. But they were not happy because after some time they did not have any children. Then Joko Seger meditated in mount Bromo asking for god to give them children. Some times later Joko Seger had a dream. In his dream he was told that he would have descendants but on one condition. The god asked him to sacrifice his children to the crater of mount Bromo. If he refused to sacrifice, then the god will be angry. Without thinking twice Joko Seger agreed to the condition. After that every year Roro Anteng gave birth to twenty five children. They were very happy and they loved their children so much that they were reluctant to sacrifice them to the crater. They did not give anything to the crater. Then something happened. One day there was a big eruption of mount Bromo. Smoke, fire, hot cloud of ash came out of its crater. The earth was trembling. The sky was dark. Animals ran away from the mountain. People were very scared since some of them became victims of the hot cloud. Joko Seger and Roro Anteng remembered their promise to god. He realized that god was very angry. So he decided to sacrifice one of his sons. Then he went to the crater with his youngest son Kusuma. Because Joko Seger did not really want to sacrifice his son to the crater, he tried to hide him. But suddenly an eruption began and made Kusuma fall. Afterwards, Kusuma, who had fell to the crater, gave a voice, "I have to be sacrificed by my parents so that you will all stay alive. From now on, you should arrange an annual offering ceremony on the 14th of Kesodo (the twelfth month of Tenggerese calender.)" Since then on Joko Seger and Roro Anteng gave offerings to the crater. Every year on the 14th day of the month of Kesada the people of Tengger held a ceremony to give offerings.

    Gunung bromo

    Lama waktu yang lalu ada tinggal beberapa di desa dekat puncak gunung Bromo. Joko Seger adalah nama-Nya. Ia hidup damai dengan istrinya Roro Anteng. Tapi mereka tidak bahagia karena setelah beberapa waktu mereka tidak memiliki anak. Kemudian Joko Seger bermeditasi di Gunung Bromo meminta Tuhan untuk memberikan anak-anak. Beberapa kali Joko Seger kemudian punya mimpi. Dalam mimpinya, dia diberitahu bahwa ia akan memiliki keturunan tetapi satu syarat. Dewa memintanya untuk mengorbankan anaknya untuk kawah gunung Bromo. Jika ia menolak untuk mengorbankan, maka Allah akan marah. Tanpa berpikir dua kali Joko Seger setuju untuk kondisi. Setelah itu setiap tahun Roro Anteng melahirkan dua puluh lima anak. Mereka sangat bahagia dan mereka mencintai anak-anak mereka begitu banyak bahwa mereka yang enggan untuk mengorbankan mereka ke kawah. Mereka tidak memberikan apa-apa untuk kawah. Kemudian sesuatu terjadi. Suatu hari ada besar letusan gunung Bromo. Asap api, panas awan abu keluar dari kawahnya. Bumi gemetar. Langit adalah gelap. Hewan lari dari gunung. Orang-orang sangat takut karena beberapa dari mereka menjadi korban dari awan panas. Joko Seger dan Roro Anteng ingat janji mereka kepada Allah. Ia menyadari bahwa Allah sangat marah. Jadi ia memutuskan untuk korban salah satu putranya. Kemudian ia pergi ke kawah dengan anaknya termuda Kusuma. Karena Joko Seger tidak benar-benar ingin untuk mengorbankan anaknya kawah, dia mencoba menyembunyikannya. Tapi tiba-tiba letusan mulai dan made Kusuma jatuh. Setelah itu, Kusuma, yang telah jatuh ke kawah, memberi suara, "Aku punya dikorbankan oleh orangtua saya sehingga Anda akan semua tetap hidup. Sekarang Anda harus mengatur upacara persembahan tahunan pada 14 Kesodo (bulan kedua belas suku Tengger kalender)." Sejak itu pada Joko Seger dan Roro Anteng memberikan persembahan untuk kawah. Setiap tahun pada hari ke-14 bulan Kesada orang Tengger diadakan upacara persembahan sesaji.
