La Quinceañera

There is a quinceañera almost every weekend at this church, sometimes more than one. The celebration of 15 years begins with a Mass of Thanksgiving that is dedicated to the teenager with suggestions on how to live her life, as well as instructions for the parents. She has a special spot in front of the altar.




Someone was holding a bouquet of flowers to present to Itzel, la quinceañera after church. This day is the first time of her life that she receives a bouquet.


Photos of Itzel leaving the church and outside alongside her parents. Then it is off to the fiesta where, besides food and drinks and dancing, there is a reenactment of her life with different people playing la quinceañera as a little girl and older girl.
The traditional color for the dress is white but now you see every color.
