“Henna, a temporary artwork drawn on the skin, is a major part of some cultures. Women put beautiful designs on their hands and feet for special occasions.”
Drawing Elements: People (hearts), Roof (the line across the palm), Mat (the fun looking wave at the wrist), Footprints (below the mat, swirls with 5 dots), Peace (forgiveness, the cross like symbol in the middle of the side designs) Footprints – Shows the man stood up and walked Peace – Jesus showed His authority to bring peace through forgiveness of sin
Many people know what henna is in American. You can get it done at the mall or at the fair etc. Here you get it on your hands and feet for your wedding at holidays or special occasions or sometimes just for fun with friends and family. Last week Melissa & her cousin were able to tell the story Based on Mark 2:1-12, Luke 5:17-26 through henna drawings. We first did it at the care center on about 20 kids then practiced the story in Hindi with a friend before going to the home for trafficked women and did it on 12 ladies there. They were able to learn the story and can now re-tell it to others when doing henna on friends and family.
