Quinceañera (lit.
meaning One (f.) who is fifteen), sometimes called "Fiesta de quince
años", "Fiesta de Quinceañera", "Quince años" or
simply "quince", is the celebration of a girl's fifteenth birthday in
parts of Latin America and elsewhere in communities
of people from Latin America. This birthday is celebrated differently from any
other birthday, as it marks the transition from childhood to
young womanhood.
The celebration, however, varies significantly across countries, with
celebrations in some countries taking on, for example, more religious overtones
than in others.
In Brazil, a
Portuguese-speaking country, the same celebration is called Festa de
Debutante, Baile de Debutante or Festa de Quinze Anos. [Wiki]
