Henna has been used to adorn women’s bodies as part of social and holiday celebrations since the late Bronze Age in the Eastern Mediterranean. The earliest text mentioning Henna in the context of marriage and fertility celebrations came from the Ugaritic legend of Baal and Anath which has references to women marking themselves with henna in preparation to meet their husbands, and Anath adorning herself with henna to celebrate the victory over the enemies of Baal.
