SUDAN-KHARTOUM-JIRTIG RITUAL

Sudanese children perform the traditional jirtig ritual in Khartoum, Sudan, on May 3, 2018. Jirtig is an ancient Sudanese tradition associated mostly with wedding ceremonies. During the jirtig ritual, both the bride and groom sit on a brim-embroidered, red-covered wooden bed, surrounded by members of their families who keep singing traditional songs and sending cheers of joy.
