Horseshoe Crabs: Javanese Symbol of Harmonious Relationships
Last week, I visited Mid Java to attend my cousin's marriage ceremony. The ceremony was conducted by using Javanese tradition theme. In Javanese marriage ceremony, the toastmaster usually says the old Javanese saying:"May the couples live together in harmony for life like Mimi and Mintuno."
I was curious what Mimi and Mintuno are. Then, I got the info and was interested to write the article about them. Mimi and Mintuno were Horseshoe Crabs. Read my article about them in triond, here.
