The Unique Church

ANCIENT CHURCH BUILDING AND TYPICALLY ITS FORM

The Roman Catholic in Puh Sarang build by Ir. Henricus Maclaine Pont in the year 1936 by request of pastor paroki Kediri by then, Pastor H. Wolters, CM. The engineer also handle development of Museum in Trowulan, Mojokerto, which keep fossil Majapahit Empire.

Darling that building museum in Trowulan have fallen to pieces in the year 1960 because unable to be taken care of carefully because lack of fund for keeping and treatment. Church building Puh Sarang look like building museum Trowulan, hence by seeing church now we can imagine how form of museum Trowulan formerly scorpion. Pastor Wolters, CM, ask that is as possible applied local culture in building church in stasi Puh Sarang, which is one of stasi from paroki Kediri by then.

The church first stone long is done on 11 Junes 1936, just with party Sakramen Mahakudus, by Mgr. Thorium. de Backere, CM, Prefektur Apostolik Surabaya by then. In this ancient church there are two punch lines namely building Mains and Part of Pendapa.

If we see from a distance, church in Puh Sarang look like boat patching at a building alike mount. Building is looking like this mount to symbolise or depict Gunung Ararat where formerly ark strand after happened sump, what punish sining people ( Kej 8:4), while building is looking like the boat to depict or symbolise Bahtera , what save Nuh and the family trusting in God, together with other animals.

MAINS BUILDING

Mains Building looking like the mount is part of sakral or holy where there is altar and sakramen mahakudus, Canister Baptized, sakristi and place of shrift. Part of this formerly majored for them which have been baptized, which have become member of believer. During formerly in church is of course dissociated between they which baptist candidate still with they which have been baptized, but the difference now have been abolished. Each and everyone, even they which is not katolikpun, if he will be accessible into part of this, so long as he don't bother is solemn practiceed worship. Of course in mount Java culture or Gunungan is holy place symbol where man can meet with creator it.

Mains Building own?have roof is in the form of like cupola or dome. Above roof is attached [by] crucifix, at the end of roof is attached by fourth symbolic picture is epistle author namely Mateus ( man hersayap), Markus ( winged lion), Yohanes ( eagle) and Lukas ( ox), what show direction of wind eye. Building roof which is in the form of the mount formed out of four wood curvatures which tip of the branch is part of breach-block. The curvature antiers a galvanic strand of metal network, its above is attached by tiles, which will react quietly and bound in each wind pressure.

The altar in this interesting church and have form that is typical, made of massif stone, is then chiseled, seen a deer being drink water, while other deer is be awaiting drinking water. Deer being drink water to depict them which have been baptized, while deer which is awaiting to drink water to depict baptist candidate or the katekumen. Water flowing out of 7 sources is symbolising 7 sakramen in church. As according to liturgy procedures by then, that is before Konsili Vatikan the year 1965, hence if Pastor dedicate misa in altar, he overshadow believer, don't look towards believer like the one is other in procedures misa present moment.

Above altar there is relief from red batubata being compiled without cement, but apply water mixture, chalk and sugar, then brick stones rubbed and gummed at other brick with the mixture so that is each other nip carefully although don't apply informing against cement like present era.

It is for altar there is cupreous tabernakel, place for menyimpan Hosti, in left is holy tabernakel right seen picture to four penginjil Mateus ( man winged), Markus ( winged lion), Yohanes ( winged bird), Lukas ( cow - male). Right accross to altar looked to be cloth picture with Jesus picture, above him(it there are picture Hati Kudus Yesus being jabed by lance, then article INRI.

It is side it is looked to be picture of the angels. Actually on the top crown, now tritiated losed. Relief being made of by red brick or brick, look like relief that is ordinary is on era temples Mojopahit .

when we look at West side we see wedding ceremony banquet relief in Kana being attended by Jesus, the rasul and Mother Marry ( Yoh 2: 1-11), part of West above door of sakristi we see picture Abraham which will sacrifice chlid Isaac him ( Kej. 22: 1-19).

Then there is statue Maria from stone depicting Mother Marry is carrying on the back Jesus child. The located statue in hollowing depicting litany Maria. Then over there also seen baptist canister from big cockle, above the is looked to be relief depicting when Jesus is baptized in river Yordan ( Mate 3:13-17).

Then in part of topmost we see relief depicting boat Nuh and a pigeon fly to bring green leaf, after sump withdrew ( Kej. 8:11).

In eastside altar seen Jesus relief being duplicate bread for 5000 ( Mrk 6,30-44), Then above entrance sakristi we see relief Imam Agung Melkisedek is dedicating bread and out of job to God ( 1ih. Kej. 16:1820). In eastside we see Jesus statue made from stone. Curvature where there is the Jesus statue dotted with relief depicting mentions for Jesus in litany Hati Kudus Yesus.

What is the meaning of relief in altar and around altar? To give decoration at altar. Besides for decoration of the pictures is medium for katekese or teach believer who simple. Ordinary a kind of this relief there is in ancient cathedral cathedral and churchs in Europe, where there is relief, statues and tesselland from very beautiful glass. Because people by then sit within crossing legs in floor when following misa, hence relief made to be low so that easy to be seen. Now also if misa people also still siting within crossing legs or " lesehan" ( Javanese).

PART OF PENDAPA

If in building Induk there are a lot of decoration hence part of this Pendapa which is open room there is no its decoration is at all. This pendapa building for believer who have not baptized or baptist candidate. In Empire of Java formerly always there is open part or Pendapa, which is place of preparation before admission someone kedalam palace face king, and so do part of this pendapa is place of preparation before believer face God becoming their Raja.

ARCH ALIKE TEMPLE

If church interior made from brick / squeezed hence external building altogether made from integer stone that is of course many there is in areas Puh Sarang. Admission gateway Puh Sarang made of stone like the one is ordinary there is in a temple, where there are a lot of doorstep.

Then there is also circumference wall from stone which is empire individuality of Majapahit as well as kraton in Java and Bali. In around wall looked to be 14 stasi Jalan Cross being made from eye stone merah/terrakota. Here we see how business from i.. Maclaine Pont enter element or style from original culture or area.

occidental side there is replica or miniatur Gua Maria Lourdes, with a statue made from stone times. While in eastside there is cave where there is statue Pieta or Patung Maria being of course me Jesus who is new alighted from crucifix. this Pieta Statue remind we statue Pieta would from Michael Angelo which there is in Basilika St. Petrus in Roma.

The Pieta Statue located in to a Tabernakel, now have been unused. this unique Tabernakel its form because door of made by like door of mausoleum people Jew, likely this tabernakel will depict empty mausoleum in mausoleum formerly Jesus buried and then rise from there after buried by during three days ( Mrk. 16:1-8).

Ir. Henricus Maclaine Pont and pastor Henricus Wolters, CM. Meaning of doorstep which must be passed from under before up to church is to invite people to check his mind before facing God Of The King in Istana Nya in Bait Kudus Nya. Besides arch St. Henricus there is arch St. Yosef, which is entrance to mausoleum or grave for believer in Puh Sarang. In grave there is altar from stone. Grave idea that one with church or called " Kerkhof" in Dutch language or is usualy called as people here Kerkop, thing of ordinary we see in churchs in Europe, especially in rural or small town where located believer grave near by church paroki.

ARCH ST. YOSEF AND TOWER HENRICUS

SPACE GAMELAN AND STATUE KRISTUS KING

If people will step into church Puh Sarang, hence having to pass horse made from stone among arch curvature, likely like temple building admission. At centered there is arch alike arch Candi Bentar. But typical here is that above of attached by bell, so that the functioning arch at the same time as bell tower. In culminating arch there is fighting cock, like the one is ordinary there is in church tower. Over there there are relief depicting when Adam to fall into sin. Invisible the relief darling because at upper. Hence people call arch which berfungi as tower with the title Menara St Henricus. Possibly in memory of St. Henricus becoming Santo Pelindung.

In external yard, before church admission, located in right side there is house for menyimpan gamelan. Gamelan formerly scorpion applied to accompany misa and sendratari which is often performed a in the early of forming of church.

In church yard there is King Christ statue, impressing wish to greet the peziarah to step into church. Above him there is stone pillar where there is Perahu Nabi Nuh.

In yard that is now used for garden formerly scorpion there is elementary school that is is now carried over other place at elbow church. On the ground is now build Mother Marry statue from Lourdes using crown.

LOCAL IN SITE MATERIAL AND ENERGY
As does when building Museum in Trowulan and other place, I.. H. Maclaine Pont always apply local material and local energy or local labour, and building adapted for local situation.

In the case of building church Puh Sarang him(her many using experienced have been workers and assist it time make museum in Trowulan. They is builder, expert chiseled, engraving even then he educate local people to be entangled to to become statue maker energy which expert. Many using of stones being taken away from by times the Kedak at elbow Puh Sarang.

Although over there many bamboo trees but he apply steel wire, because his stronger endurance.

Beside that at that time there are prohibition from the Government of Dutch Indies to apply bamboo in building house to prevent bubonic plague, because mice bringing pest germ love to have a nest in bamboo building. Result of diligence from soilland terracota made in local worker and actor enough finite famous is second world war the year 1945. But don't know why then disappear and invisible ex- him.

Probably because there is no regeneration or endowment of expertise and science, or because change of era so that people shall no longer hanker labouring.

AN EFFORT FOR INKULTURASI AND MASTERPIECE MONUMENTAL

Church complex Puh Sarang is a business to present believe kristiani and place of catholic observance in local culture. Many people have a notion that building being made in Puh Sarang to respect and unique and is masterpiece monumental proper to be looked after and taken care of don't be annihilate like museum Trowulan, is falling to pieces in the year 1960, because strarting the year 1938 of no more cost to take care of museum.

Thanks there are church Puh Sarang presenting style Majapahit is but combined with style from other area and believe kristiani. Yulianto Sumalyo in entitling book ` Dutch Colonial Architecture in Indonesia, Elephant Mada University Press, Yogyakarta, 1993" write that way about church Puh Sarang:

" Like at building Trowulan, Tegal and others to build church Poh Sarang always apply local material. Maclaine Pont apply also local labour besides some experienced have been workers at the time of building museum. loaded Church with this symbolism is an a real architecture masterpiece successfully seen from various facets: start from location, arrange mass, construction material, structural and ten just tu function and beauty of him. All aspects is including local culture and religion philosophy is allied in the form of architecture with very harmony"

CHURCH RENOVATION

If we compare situation of present Puh Sarang complex with situation when build by it in the year 1936 we see have happened many changes and addition of building and broadness areal being used for the sake of believer. Building ampiteater which formerly for fun sandiwara have been no more, and instead on the ground now emerge Taman Hidangan Kana. But building Induk that is Church remain to defended in the form of original him, though critical

his and the steel wire perforced to be changed because have been mouldering eaten by age. the Repair and renovation need to be performed a by is if not done church Puh Sarang will destroy and breakdown like museum in Trowulan.

We must thank goodness because of time to time is performed a by repair or renovation. Church still maintained and looked after by every week used by believer to practice worship to celebrate holy misa.

FIRST RENOVATION THE YEAR 1955

Renovation firstly done in the year 1955 by Romo Paul Janssen, CM, at that time became pastor in paroki St. Vincentius a Paulo, Kediri. He improve roof without changing form of church building.

SECOND RENOVATION THE YEAR 1974

In the year 1974 damages of church Puh Sarang have reached endangering level. His condition have been so hard so that every when can collapse to befall believer being having religious service, hence renovation cannot be delayed again. Link at that time finance of paroki so weakening weakening also situation of finance of bishop Surabaya nor fullfill hence Romo Kumoro, Pr. at that time became Pastor Paroki to have idea to change church wall that wooden with ordinary wall from brick.

And so do form of the roof of unique that will be changed with construction blandar, usuk, reng and is in the form of like within reason chapel or a class. Is thereby expected duration to renovate is the next become longer. Fortunately this thing is not happened, this andaikata happened to lose beauty of and keunikan of church Puh Sarang.

That way also form its that unique roof will change with construction of blandar, usuk, reng and in form of like within reason chapel or a class. Is thereby expected by duration to renovate next become longerly. Fortunately this matter do not happened, this andaikata happened to lose the beauty of and keunikan of church of Puh Den.
Ir. Champion of Silas hearing this matter have a notion that church of Puh this Den not merely monument culture of catholic a gerej but also Indonesia state monument, a cultural heritage which is is competent to be defended. Hence of aid of In Champion of Silas with its student is started to renovate both church of Puh Den with angle bar construction and of usuk flimsy teak;core. Because its minim of beaya hence Romo Fx. Wartadi, CM , Puh Den stasi romo at that time ask to be part of church which perforced to change so that his original form remain to be defended. For example wall which first its genuiness from cut into halves teak;core boles to be changed with formed to wall loo like split teak. Floor in church, either in imam panti and also in place people, what first is made from stone changed with ordinary cement so that can wear by seat have principle to deliciously. Part of Verandah of ancient palace which is open first planked, pendapa which first narrow to be extended.

RENOVATE THIRD YEAR 1986.
Renovate is third performed a by Romo Emilio Rossi, CM in the year 1986 by changing tile which have enough new usang,genting, which printed special for. He also make cave of Maria new which located in northside from people mausoleum.

RENOVATE FOURTHLY of YEAR 1999
On 22 May 1993 Romo Emilio Rossi, CM, pastor of Kediri, please report that in church of Puh Den seen transformation at wood bow supporter of especial roof strarting is surging. Concrete iron of penatik by the side of bow in side trilateral column have loosen or do not function again, angle bar gording-gording increase its him, and there is anticipation that possible natural church roof of degradation of too heavy roof effect.

Is worried by if church do not lekas improve;repaired can destroy. Hence Team development of Bishop after performing a penilitian have a notion that have to be performed a by big enough repair. 18 May 1999 performed a by opening start him renovate fourth which handled by Ir. Harry Widyanto and of Ir. A.S. Rusli assisted by Ir. Djoko
Laboured to return church of Puh Den into its original form. previous verandah of ancient palace closed will be made open and minimized by like form initialy. Form roof which during the time use wood returned to form initialy by wearing steel strand of metal. Curvature which first from wood changed with steel so that more durable
Gamelan is which during the time kept in verandah of ancient palace carried over by house of gamelan which have destroyed or nothing like. Renovate fourth finish and opened by its it[him] in the early Yubileum year 2000, that is on 26 December 1999 by Bishop of Surabaya, Mgr J. Hadiwikarta
Hence church form which [is] now returned to his original form and all existing pass changed with new pass, which printed special for.

COLOUR of ALKITABIAH AND PRINCIPLES DEVELOPMENT
PLACE PILGRIMAGE.
If us see church old ones hence over there we see weared by many taken away from by events or symbol is Holy Book. interesting for us what a often Ark symbol of Nuh weared by goodness in the form of church, relief in church wall and also also outside church.

Church or People Allah is often depicted as Ark or Boat bearing up for to God. Because of colour of alkitabiah which jell in ancient church is so whenever performed a to renovate and addition of room and also prasarana just weared by the name of from Holy Book like for example : All Purppose Building of Emaus, Garden Dish of Kana, Earth Encampment of hill of Tabor and others.

What first smallly there is in developed ancient church to become big building like for example Cave of Maria Lourdes which small first beside church, is nowadays realized in developing new pilgrimage place. Idol of Pieta which first in from other sideing church transform to become Columbarium Pieta, Empty Mausoleum is now realized in Empty Mausoleum at Road;Street of Saliyang new. Existing picture in Curvature where there are Mother idol of Maria dilcembanglcan become three Maisonette Rosary.

POST SECURITY AND of POSKO HEALTH

To give security to encampment hill users and them which is have pilgrimage to mausoleum, in Earth Encampment corner there are a Post of security. Despitefully in the face of entrance of Mausoleum and Earth Encampment there are Posko Health which do not be opened every day, only if there is big event like Novena, Misa Friday of Legi and other big event where incoming many people.
