Who Wears What At The Weddings- Ethiopia- 2026


Who Wears What At The Weddings 
Ethiopia 
2026

BEFORE EVERY WEDDING CEREMONY, THE BRIDE AND GROOM MUST MAKE A CONFESSION. IF THEY ARE VIRGINS, THEY WEAR RED TO THE CEREMONY. IF THEY ARE NOT VIRGINS, THEY MUST CONFESS THIER SINS, REPENT, ASK FORGIVENESS AND WEAR WHITE. AND EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE WEARING WHITE, THEY ARE RESPECTED FOR TELLING THE THRUTH.

He was just circumcised

Tanzania 2016


He was just circumcised today. So he is marked with a big, temporary white rectangle for everyone to see. This marking gives us, all, warning not to approach him, to touch him as he is in so much pain and any touch can be excruciating. But he is proud of the fact that he has survived this procedure and can now consider himself a man.
