I meant to post this sooner- when I went to henna the Palestinians, I
talked with a guy who had toured all over that part of the world. He
says that when you go to hospitals, most of the lower walls are
stained red from women hennaing their hands and running them down the
walls. He didn't know exactly why, but I would guess it's to lend
baraka to the place of healing. He thought it was a mourning ritual
but that seems unlikely given it's henna.
Thoughts?
