Traditional Dress - Special Occasions - Circumcision Outfit

Below you can see a variety of circumcision outfits.


That's right, it's a big event with much celebration, much like a bar mitzvah (though I guess I wouldn't really know since I never had one. By the way, did I spell that right?) As you can deduct from the models, the boys are often not circumcised at birth. I know someone who waited until nine years old in order to have it done at the same time as his younger brother, who I believe was four or five.



The outfits are very elaborate and often consist of a white tux, embroidered cape, a hat of some sort, a staff thing, and a sash with "Maşallah" written on it, which roughly translates into "everything is good."
