The transition from childhood to womanhood is an important event in almost any culture. Hispanics, however, mark this memorable occasion with the celebration of a Quinceañera or Sweet 15. The Quinceañera tradition is believed to have started many years ago when the Spanish conquerors brought the tradition to Mexico and others say the tradition originated with the Aztecs. Regardless, a Quinceañera celebration is a Hispanic tradition associated with Mexican, Caribbean, Central and South American cultures. Through the different ceremonies that take place today, the one important theme is the young Quinceañera is formally introduced to society and it is a day to give thanks for having reached her age and her commitment to God, responsibility and purity. .
