On the 8th day after the baby is born is the day they official give them a name and in the Muslim tradition they shave the baby's hair. Gerard's family is Catholic so the baby was blessed by the Catholic Aunt's and the shaving was started and then finished by the careful and tender hand of Marietou's mother, a very faithful Muslim
The shaved hair was saved in this calabash. I was told it will be made into a charm for the baby to wear.
These are Anne Christina's two Aunt's from Mbour
