Circumcision Sultans



Monday 12 April 2010

These outfits are for young boys to wear to their circumcision parties. Here in Turkey, boys are circumcised around age 7 or 8 as part of a huge coming-of-age celebration. Parents spend tons of money on the costume, on gifts for the boy, and on food and entertainment for the whole family. It's rather like a quinceanera in Latin cultures, but for boys.
