In all countries of the Orient women share a life
sphere of its own which is filled up with lots of
songs.Within this sphere that is hardly noticed by
male visitors from abroad Setona learned how to
work the typical Henna tattoes without whom no
traditional wedding would be complete. And she
was trained in specific African kinds of female
healthcare as vapour-baths and burning incences.
In Cairo today she is the so called Queen of Henna. In the traditional wedding ceremonies she takes
care about the young women expecting their wedding,
prepares special wedding food and teaches the old
songs that women sing during the wedding ceremony
– in this way she keeps alive tradition in a changing world.
