About the rite
Among the Bukusu of Kenya, boys’ circumcision and initiation take place in even-numbered years. Relatives and neighbors accompany the boy with songs and a procession. After recovering and receiving instruction, he returns to the community at the threshold of manhood. Local photographs record a ceremony on 1 August 2026.
