Hundreds of #Maasai 'Moran' warriors, aged 18 to 26, take part in the #Eunoto ceremony in western #Kenya, a vital rite of passage that marks their transition into adulthood.
Many amongst them are students, juggling modern life with their ancestors' traditions.
"This is one of the biggest ceremonies we have in our lives," explains one warrior, who is also in medical school.
The Eunoto ceremony is one of three rites of passage — including Enkipaata (transition to the status of "moran") and Olng'esherr (transition to the status of "elder”) — all of which are on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list. (AFP) #news #voanews
