STORY:
Le Bain Sacre:  Bien avant l’introduction de l’Islam, on avait coutume de faire du bain sacre.  C’est a dire que les jeunes filles a l’aube vont se laver avec de l’eau melanger avec des oeufs et du ble.  Apres ca, elles prient pour que Dieu exauce leurs voeux.

The Sacred Bath:  Long before the introduction of Islam, it was customary to take a sacred bath.  That is to say, the young women, before dawn, would bathe with water mixed with eggs and wheat.  Afterwards, they would pray that God would grant them their wishes.
