What is a Quinceañera!
A Quinceañera, the feminine form of “fifteen-year-old,” celebrates the girl’s transition from childhood to maturity. This milestone is a tradition for Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Central and South American cultures. It originated in ancient Aztec times. The event begins with a religious ceremony followed by the reception. She often receives a tiara, rosary, and bible for the ceremony. Specific traditions vary from culture to culture. One of the most common customs is the “Changing of the Shoes”. The father or male figure changes the girl’s flats to high heels to symbolize the transition into womanhood. Food, music, dancing and a toast to the birthday girl are to follow!
There are only a few most important events in one’s life. Your wedding day, college graduation, prom and retirement party, among others. In Hispanic culture, one of these significant days is the Quinceañera, a young girl’s 15th birthday. Age 15 marks a girl’s coming of age and entrance into womanhood. Like a Sweet 16, a Quinceañera is a milestone year for Latin Americans, and definitely one of the most important days in her life.
