Abstract
This research was conducted in a village which is a Javanese Muslim community. This research is a continuation of previous research, but with a different focus. The focus of attention in this study is the emergence of the ritual movement of nyadran (grave pilgrimage) to the graves of the ancestors of the village founders which is carried out collectively and routinely. By using a qualitative approach, field phenomena show that the social stratification system in the village where the research is located shows conditions that are starting to fade. Related to the conditions of social life, it creates collective nyadran ritual movement. A number of villagers participated in the event, and their attendance was voluntary. The guides and those who lead this activity come from family group members who occupied a high social status in the community when the village was founded. Apparently, the revitalization of traditions has a function to maintain the pattern of social stratification of rural communities.

Highlights
This study follows up on the findings of Ridjal et al's (2021) study conducted in Sumberarum village, Jombang district, East Java
The characteristics of a stratified agrarian society - as stated by Sanderson (1995) - appear in this village. It seems that the pattern of social stratification in this village has been established since the beginning of the village, which is related to the ownership of agricultural land
This is in line with what was stated by Wahyono (2017) in his study that the 19th century Javanese society was not a homogeneous society, but was a complexly differentiated society in patterns of land ownership, and land tenure determined the social stratification of the owners
Summary
This study follows up on the findings of Ridjal et al's (2021) study conducted in Sumberarum village, Jombang district, East Java. Ridjal et al (2019, 2021) stated that in the early days of the village, the residents of Sumberarum were divided into three identity groups. Members of the descendants of the founding family of the village, are given a symbol of the identity of wong njero by the community .
