The Importance of the Catholic Church in La Fiesta de los Quince Anos (Quincenera)

During the celebration of the Quincenera, there are two events that need to occur. It is very common for the sweet sixteen to come to church with many helpers. They may be young couples who are carefully chosen to carry a pillow. Others may be carrying the shoes. Some parents ask their daughters to specifically wear non high-heel shoes. By this time, most young women know about the tradition. Without being asked, they will wear flat shoes. In addition, the young woman who is bursting into full-fledged womanhood carries a heart-shaped pillow with the crown. Then, as a symbol, the father will change the flat shoes to high-heel ones. This has come to signify that Quinceanera is mostly about symbols. From a young girl, the celebrant will change to a woman. Obviously, the young woman will have her Bible and rosary. The pillows are used to kneel down during the service.

The other important symbol occurs after the mass. Father and daughter dance. What�s the role of the mother? She is the one who has the honor of placing the crown on the young woman�s head. Father puts the high heels on. If the mother is absent, the honor may be reserved to the grandmother the daughter is comfortable with. Then, in front of the whole crowd, the father takes her little princess to the center of the stage to dance their well-rehearsed song. You can see them smiling and talking. Some daughters cry. Not too far from them the proud mother may be watching.

That�s the dream of all little girls. They dream to be the centers of attention. They dream of being princesses who receive blessings from the priest and the community.
