In Mexico, a girl's fifteenth birthday celebration, her quinceañerais often one of the biggest of her life. (The term quinceañera is used to refer to the girl herself, as well as to the celebration). It is often a huge family affair. Traditionally, this day marks the transition from girlhood to womanhood. Depending on the family, it may begin with a religious celebration, often a Catholic Mass. Urban families might lease a banquet hall and have a formal gala dinner. Rural families might have a more casual celebration, perhaps outdoors, with plenty of food, music, and relaxing fun for everyone. Para empezar pg. 9
