Are you saying the ceremony is something different than the start of her period? I'm getting the idea that the period starting was just a coincidence. Am I right?
Is the ceremony one of those purity type dances with their dads?

I'd get her something that has a butterfly or a moon on it or part of it, to me that has a lot of significance in the emergence into womanhood.

Ok I also would like some clarification. Please tell me this "coming of age" ceremony at church doesn't occur when a period begins??? UGH--humiliation!


Anyway---I agree

I have to say I'm a bit saddened by the amount of negativity about this event.

Oh come now, we weren't being negative or intolerant. I like the Unitarians personally and my best friend and her family is Pagan. I'm not religous at all so when you said "church service" you put this picture of the poor kid being paraded in front of the whole congregation and being announced "a woman" lol. You have to admit that picture is mortifying lol.
