With whipping sticks in their hands, men crouch as they bless an initiate who is about to perform his 'Jumping of the Bull' ceremony. The Hamar are semi-nomadic pastoralists of Southwest Ethiopia who embrace an age-grade system that includes several rites of passage for young men. The most elaborate of them and the most important is the 'Jumping of the Bull' ceremony. The climax to the ceremony is when the initiate leaps onto a line of ten or more of his family's bulls and runs along their backs; he must complete the feat twice in each direction. After the ceremony, the initiate attains full manhood and is permitted to marry. B0015P 0032 Nigel Pavitt 5 20051006 5 6 070837+0300 6
