Driving out to Katesh this week for the Unity Committee, we saw a
rather rare sight: Maasai young men preparing for their rite of passage into
official adulthood.
After their circumcision ceremony, they wear all black (as you see them
here) for one month as their bodies heal. At the end of that month, there is
another ceremony in which they are declared to be adults...at which time they
are allowed to wear the Maasai traditional red shukas (cloth wraps).
