1.-Compare the two quinceañera pictures

the first one celebrates with their friends and the other with their family or loved ones

THE QUINCEAÑERA

Fifteen year old

One of Latin America’s traditions is called the quinceañera, which

means ‘fifteen-year-old birthday girl’. It is when a young girl

turns 15 and she has a big party to celebrate. It is a fusion of local

ancient culture and Spanish Catholicism. In 16th-century Spain, a

girl turning 15 had to decide between dedicating her life to God or

getting married. Back then, in line with the Catholic tradition, the

girl would wear a white dress; however, girls now wear dresses of any

color, pink being the most traditional one. Finding the right dress

for your quinceañera is a big deal and a lot of time is put into. The

dresses have lots of fabric. The party costs a lot of money.

The first part of the celebration is the religious ceremony at the

church. Then at the birthday party, there’s music, dancing and lots

of food. Family and friends are invited to enjoy the special day. The

father dances with his daughter and there is a modern dance by the

birthday girl.

The quinceañera looks like great fun. It’s done very different from

how I celebrated my 15th birthday. Being 15 has so much more

significance in Mexico than in England. I remember my 18th birthday

being a big deal because that was when I could call myself an adult.

Latin American culture is very interesting. There is so much more

to learn about, and I would like to visit someday to experience it in

person and practice my Spanish on the locals!
