Order For a Blessing of New Womanhood
Mother Mollie presented a unique prayer experience. This order is designed to celebrate a girl's first menstruation as a gift rather than a curse, something to be celebrated by the girl and important women in her life: mother, aunts, sisters, grandmothers, godmother. Along with the prayers, little gifts are given to the girl as tokens of her place as a woman in the world.
