Henna Ceremony and Its Meaning

Henna Ceremony and Its Meaning

 

Henna is actually a powder obtained by crushing the leaves of the henna plant. The first use of this plant dates back to the Pharaohs in Egypt about 9,000 years ago. It is said that Cleopatra, the last reigning queen of the ancient Egyptian civilization, used henna to adorn her body and beautify herself. The Egyptians also painted mummies' nails with henna before burying them.

 

Henna also has some superstitions attached to it as an art form due to its extensive history. In India, it is believed that the deeper the color of henna on a bride's hand, the better her relationship with her mother-in-law will be. In some places it is also said to express the power of love between the bride and groom. Many traditional henna designs are hidden symbols of prosperity, love, loyalty, fertility and good luck.

 

In the West, henna tattoos are more popular, and women are sometimes seen with their pregnant bellies painted or decorated with henna patterns as they go through chemotherapy. It has even been seen that many foreign celebrities use henna tattoos in public.
