Circumcision is to show that a boy had grown-up and must take responsibility in every action they do.
What i want to write here is celebration that most people do before their child doing circumcision, especially here in Aceh.


There are some events during this celebration.
First, boy sitting on the stage that has been prepared . He must wear Traditional Clothes for this celebration. He sit in the chair and surrounded by girl dancers (wear Traditional Clothes). They perform some traditional dance.
