Religious & Cultural aspects of the Quinceanera
The Quinceañera is accompanied by her parents and her godparents (padrinos). The Quinceañera is presented to the center of the dance floor. The event also includes the blessing of special gifts by the priest, scripture reading, music and song. It can be at this time or after the banquet, yet it is customary for the mother of the Quinceañera to place the tiara upon her daughter’s head, the father change her flat shoes to high heels and the Quinceañera gives her youngest sister (or parents) her porcelain doll. This is like the “cutting of the apron strings” where the Quinceañera becomes a young woman.
