Abstract	This article aims to examine the Begalan tradition that has developed specifically in Banyumas, Central Java – Indonesia, from the perspective of Christian Religious Education and explore its implications for Christian Marriage. This study attempts to explore the meaning, practice, and significance of the Begalan tradition for the local community which is then examined from the perspective of Christian Religious Education including the symbolic values in the Begalan tradition that are in line with the principles of Christian Religious Education. The findings in this study indicate that a deep understanding of the Begalan tradition gives importance to the experience of Christian faith that is adaptive and respectful of local culture which then has implications for the context of Christian marriage. This article proposes practical approaches in Christian marriage related to the Begalan tradition, where the concept of integrating positive values from the Begalan tradition in the form of Thanksgiving practices for Christian marriage into traditional ceremonies after the marriage blessing becomes a form of harmonious integration between church and culture. The method in writing this article is through autoethnography where the author is involved and has direct experience in it and is also supported by literature studies. The conclusion of this article is the need for correct interpretation and learning of Christian marriage that adopts local culture, then it is hoped that there will be ongoing dialogue between Christian faith, especially Christian religious education and local traditions such as the Begalan tradition and other local traditions, this is very important to create a harmonious relationship between the church and local traditions, as well as to enrich cross-cultural understanding among Christians.
