Ladies in mourning
These ladies have covered themselves with ash and are wearing strings of beads. They are in mourning for a loved one. A strand of beads will be removed weekly until they are all gone. At this time they will wash away the ash and will no longer be in mourning.Full page image Eldertreks 2012-2013 brochure
