Starting Out
A coming-of-age ceremony is an event that marks the time when a young person moves from childhood to adulthood.
In Ancient China, people held a traditional “capping ceremony” for a man at the age of 20 and a “hair-pinning ceremony” for a woman around her 15th birthday. On the South Pacific island of Pentecost, a ceremony of land diving takes place only for boys. In the US, a particularly modern celebration takes place for a girl or a boy at the age of 16.
