The purpose of this research is to find out about the Larantuka religious tradition which they call Hari Bae Nagi, or known throughout the world as Semana Santa Larantuka. In this research, researchers used a qualitative approach with the type of research case study research and in nature descriptive. A qualitative approach is an important approach to understand a social phenomenon and the perspective of the individual being studied. The qualitative approach is also the research procedure produces descriptive data in the form of written words or verbally from the behavior of the people being observed. Research results show that Semana Santa in Larantuka is a legacy of the Portuguese colonial people. However, the inclusion of Semana Santa as a way of life for the Larantuka people from the past until now was not forced because the Larantuka people themselves were historically a mixture of immigrants (Portuguese, Topas, and Malacca natives who were Catholic). They came and lived side by side in harmony with the native people. When Catholicism became the religion of the Larantuka kingdom, there was a real element of peaceful acceptance of this religion, along with its variant in the form of Semana Santa. Semana Santa, which is the culmination of the Larantuka people's spiritual life for a year, is a legacy passed down from their ancestors. The position of tribes which are still taken into account and given a place in Semana Santa provides evidence that this procession is a perfect peaceful merger between local religion and Catholicism, as well as tribal "breeds" in the traditional life of the Larantuka people. This is now just waiting for its development by the current generation, as a true practice of living faith.
