Mexican girls 15th birthday celibration; celebrated elaborately as a wedding!

The term comes from quince (fifteen) and ano (year).

When someone in class gives as a reason for having been absent, that he/she attended a girl's 15th birthday; the instructor is often baffled, because it is not customary in Anglo culture to stay home from school because of a birthday. However, the quinceanera is the highlight for a young girl and is very important.

The quinceanera starts with a religious service, a mass of dedication and a festivity with music and dance. In fact, a chambelan (chamberlain), an older brother or relative, will teach the young girl how to dance before the coming out celebration. The girl is accompanied to the altar by 14 young girls, each representing a year in her life, and 14 male escorts, the parents, grandparents, godparents, and pajecitos (maids and masters), and younger family members. The 15th male escort is the chambelan (chamberlain) and her personal escort.
