The 12-Lamp Initiation Ritual of the Red Yao People
Description The Yao, one of Vietnam's fifty-four ethnic group, primarily reside in the north. According to Red Yao tradition, a prospective bridegroom is required to go through a twelve-lamp initiation ritual with his bride ahead of their wedding. Through this rite of passage, a man is recognized as a member of the community and granted a religious title and spiritual privileges. He is then allowed to participate as a ritual practitioner in religious events for his family and community. This video depicts a twelve-lamp ritual performed by the Red Yao people in Ban Khoang Commune, Sa Pa District, Lao Cai Province, near the border with China.
