After the purification, the next ceremony the bride participates in is the “Hennaya”. This is when a professional Moroccan Henna Artist, draws symbolic motifs on the hands and feet of the bride, her friends and relatives, with Henna. Henna is a plant which produces natural dyes that are used for body painting.

Henna is considered as a sign of fertility, beauty and optimism for Moroccans.

During this ceremony there are lots of singing and dancing for the bride.
