At the occasion of the anniversary of  Imam Mahdi’s birthday, girls and women make a wish and carry a round copper tray on their heads, full of offerings (sweets, cakes and a sugarloaf). They parade with the sound of a traditional music in the alleys and  drop their tray at the mosque, where offerings will be blessed with prayers and then shared by men and offered to the entire community.

In addition, our ethnic dolls, stones of patience, were offered to the future young brides, to accompany them in their new home. In fact, in the past, the young girls of Badrood carried in their dowry a doll, hand-sewn by their grandmother; far from the family cocoon, this doll  played the role of a stone of patience to which the young bride confided her moods and little by little, her heaviest and innermost secrets, her loneliness, her sufferings, her dreams and her desire. All our best wishes of happiness to these new couples! 🌹🌹🌹🌺🌹🌹🌹
