Women in Morocco tattoo their hands with henna for special occasions (wedding,  baby shower, or for religious celebrations) or they can do it just for the sake of doing it because the seen and smell of henna can make them feel less stressful, happy and at ease. Most of the time, when a woman wants to use henna, she calls a special woman who can do that and she can choose any design she fancies; she can also ask for Moroccan, Indian or gulf henna design (or decoration) and she can ask her friends and relatives to join a tea party for that.

Henna Night for Brides and Soldiers (Turkey)

# data[].attributes.body
This tradition dates back to the era of the religious wars. Prophet Muhammad gathered his followers on the night before an attack. While praying together for victory, he would put some henna into the palms of the soldiers. Henna's red color symbolized blood and coloring the palms suggested that the warriors were ready to sacrifice their blood and lives in the name of God. According to the myth, this war ritual eventually became a marriage ritual in which the bride symbolically leaves her identity as daughter, centered in her mother's house, and enters into a new life stage as adult wife whose life is centered around her husband's family. Now, known us bachelorette party where the bride-to-be celebrates together with her friends, wearing "bindallı," a caftan-like red or green costume that is designed especially for henna nights.

Songs would be sung, trying to make the bride cry. As it was believed that the crying of the bride would bring abundance, those who did not cry would be reproached. After the bride started to cry upon the songs, she would sit on a pillow, and her mother-in-law would apply henna on her palm and put a gold on it. The bride needed to keep this gold for good luck and abundance. Other young girls who wanted to get married would apply henna on their hands to receive a marriage proposal :)

What is Henna?

· Henna will thrive in summer heat to 120F or 48C.
