Quinceanera Stunning Photos

Stunning pictures of hundreds of teenage girls marching through the streets of Mexico City in ball gowns for mass 'Quinceanera'


Hundreds of girls celebrating their fifteenth birthdays attended a mass ‘Quinceañera’ celebration in Mexico City yesterday.
Every year, the mayor of the Mexican capital hosts a ‘coming of age’ celebration to which he invites girls from the city, a tradition dating back to the Spanish colonial era when girls had their official debut in society at the ages of 15 and 16.
It marks the transition from childhood to adulthood and is common in Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries.
