Every culture has some form of celebration to recognize the coming of age; when a girl begins to be considered a woman. In North America and in the Latin American culture, these celebrations are called “Quinceañera”. This is a sacred and time-honored rite of passage. The word “Quinceañera” is made up of the Spanish words for “fifteen” and “years” and can refer to both the celebration and the girl/woman turning fifteen.
It is believed one of the origins of a Quinceañera goes all the way back to the indigenous cultures of the Americas; the Aztec and the Maya. When a girl became fifteen, she was then considered a woman. The girls would wed and be allowed to carry a child. Historians also believe the roots of this celebration stem from Europe and in the European debutante ball galas. This European tradition was introduced to the Native American during the Spanish colonization of Latin America in the 1500’s. Wherever this beautiful tradition was originated, young Latin girl celebrates the Quinceañera uniquely. What remains constant across the Latin American culture is that the Quinceañera is meant to represent a girl’s transition to womanhood.
