The word quinceañera literally means "a girl who is fifteen" (from quince, fifteen, and años, years). In day-to-day use, the same word describes both the young woman of honor and the celebration itself. In some countries the party is called the fiesta de quince años or simply quince; in Brazil it's a festa de quinze anos or debutante ball. Spiritually, the day marks a young woman's transition into adulthood. https://myquinceaneramagazine.com/ ↗️
