New on 500px : A Communal Cup by PatKofahl by PatKofahl

This simple photograph says quite bit about Chefchaouen, and in turn, Moroccan society. The family and guests eat from a communal dish, and a fairly strict set of protocols is observed. It’s a daily occurrence that seems to have no Western parallel. I wonder, then if the ritual has the effect of making the family a more close-knit unit, or whether it might be a simple extension or signator of the bond that Moroccan Families enjoy? Witness here, the communal cup, that is used by all in the sharing of a vital communal resource…water, the staff of life!
