Quinceañera

Here is what the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has on its website:

"The quinceañera is a traditional celebration of life and gratitude to God on the occasion of the fifteenth birthday of a young Hispanic woman. The ritual emphasizes her passage from childhood to adulthood. The family usually requests a Mass or a blessing to be held in the Church. The rite is frequently celebrated in several countries in the Americas, including Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. It is frequently requested by Hispanic Catholics in the dioceses of the United States of America."

Look at that first sentence: "a celebration of life and gratitude to God." What more can we say about this important celebration than the fact that it is a way to say thank you to God for life itself?
