The henna ceremony is celebrated in the Middle East, North Africa, the Horn of Africa and India shortly before the wedding and symbolizes the transition from life alone to life together as a couple. During the ceremony, a red-orange paste - made from the henna plant (Lasonia Inermis) - in the form of a coin-like circle is spread on the palms of the bride and groom's hands as a good omen for prosperity, fertility, a successful marriage and good luck.

Procedure of the ceremony

Traditionally, the women who prepare the henna and perform the ritual must be blessed with fertility in the hope that this blessing will also be passed on to the young couple.

It is customary to paint all guests of the ceremony with henna. If the hands of an unmarried woman are painted with henna, this expresses the hope of an imminent wedding. For women who are already married, the painting is a sign of attachment to the bride.
