La Tradici?n de la Quinceañera
[image]
La transici?n de las adolescentes en mujeres se celebra de diferentes maneras y a diferentes edades en el mundo. En M?xico, tiene un arraigo muy particular y se celebra cuando las chicas cumplen los Quince A?os. No significa exactamente que las ni?as est?n listas para casarse como algunos ajenos a la tradici?n creen. Mas bien, que las chicas pueden presentarse como adultas en eventos sociales apropiados.
La Quinceañera es una tradici?n altamente Cat?lica aunque se celebra tambi?n en otras iglesias cristianas. Casi se toma por dado que fueron los conquistadores espa?oles quienes trajeron la tradici?n a M?xico. En realidad, la celebraci?n como es ahora es una adaptaci?n al Cristianismo de la Ceremonia de la Mujer Azteca. Desde antes de la conquista, los Aztecas celebraban a las ni?as que llegaban a la madurez, en dicha ceremonia aparte del banquete y la presentaci?n religiosa, las madres daban consejos a sus hijas exhort?ndolas a tener buen comportamiento. Los conquistadores tomaron la celebraci?n pagana y la convirtieron a la iglesia al igual que otras ceremonias en un esfuerzo por catolizar al pueblo Azteca. La danza fue reemplazada por el Vals y el altar Azteca por el altar Cristiano.
La Quinceañera puede o no incluir una recepci?n, banquete y baile pero lo verdaderamente importante es la Misa de Acci?n de Gracias.
La Misa
La Misa o presentaci?n en templo es un agradecimiento y preparaci?n para los nuevos retos de la chica que es ya casi una mujer. El Vestido, El Ramo, el Anillo, la Corona y los dem?s accesorios tienen un significado especial.
La festejada se sienta en el asiento de honor cerca del altar. La pueden acompa?ar hasta 14 damas (representando sus
primeros14 a?os) con sus chambelanes. Un Chambel?n de Honor tambi?n acompa?a a la Quinceañera. Las damas se escogen de entre otras chicas que recientemente hayan cumplido los 15 o est?n pr?ximas a cumplirlos.
La Oraci?n de Gracias y la Bendici?n de los dones o regalos durante la misa y la eucarist?a son la culminaci?n de la Misa. Sin embargo, nada iguala el emotivo momento en que la festejada entrega un ramo de florea en el altar a la Virgen Maria, por lo general a Nuestra Se?ora de Guadalupe. De acuerdo a las posibilidades de cada familia, el vestido puede ser mas sencillo o sofisticado, pero siempre algo especial y en colores pastel. El color blanco se utiliza mucho entre la comunidad mexicana en los Estados Unidos pero en M?xico dicho color se reserva para las Novias el d?a de su Boda. El resto de los accesorios deben hacer juego con el vestido.
La Recepci?n
Despu?s de la misa, se celebra una recepci?n con banquete y baile en honor de la Quinceañera. Otras opciones son el de un Viaje ? de manera mas americana, recibir un autom?vil. Dado que el autom?vil o el viaje se pueden recibir en cualquier otra ocasi?n, la mayor?a de las chicas optan por la recepci?n.
La Pi?ata
Los ni?os mexicanos generalmente celebran sus cumplea?os con una pi?ata. La Quinceañera celebra sus Quince con su ?ltima pi?ata. Esta tradici?n es opcional ya que en sus or?genes, la pi?ata era utilizada en otras ceremonias religiosas, incorporarla a los cumplea?os es una tradici?n moderna..
El Banquete
El banquete puede estar basado en comida tradicional mexicana y puede ser tan modesto o sofisticado seg?n la capacidad
econ?mica de la familia.
El Vals
Las ni?as mexicanas no pueden bailar en un evento p?blico antes de cumplir los quince a?os aunque puede bailar en fiestas familiares y escolares siempre que sea suelto (no abrazados de su pareja).
Al cristianizar la Ceremonia de la Mujer, los frailes espa?oles pusieron su toque europeo que se mantiene hasta la fecha. La
Quinceañera acompa?ada del Chambel?n de Honor y las Damas con sus respectivos Chambelanes bailan un Vals tradicional.
El vals se realiza con movimientos tradicionales o algunos de nuevo dise?o. La m?sica puede ser en vivo o con los modernos sistemas de sonido digital. "Tiempo de Vals" de el Puertorrique?o Chayanne se utiliza como una alternativa moderna a los valses tradicionales.
La Quinceañera baila su primer vals de pareja con su padre o a falta de este, un pariente o amigo cercano a la familia. Despu?s sigue el llamado Vals con los Padrinos aunque este no es necesariamente un vals. Es mas bien un tema de m?sica
popular que la festejada baila con los padrinos cambiando cada 20 segundos o un minuto dependiendo del n?mero de padrinos participantes.
Las Ma?anitas
La canci?n tradicional "Las Ma?anitas", usualmente tocada por Mariachis se canta despu?s del Vals o a la hora del Pastel. El Mariachi tambi?n toca otras canciones selectas. Las Ma?anitas pueden cantarse en la casa antes de salir para la iglesia, al salir de la iglesia o en la recepci?n.
La Mu?eca y el Regalo Sorpresa.
Al igual que la pi?ata, la mu?eca es la ?ltima en recibir. Esta, un regalo Sorpresa y otros regalos son presentados antes o despu?s del vals. Tambi?n pueden ser omitidos en su totalidad.
El Baile
Despu?s de el vals, la Quinceañera "rompe el baile", esto significa que es la primera en salir a bailar una canci?n popular e invita a todos los asistentes a bailar tambi?n.
El Pastel
El pastel generalmente se parte horas despu?s durante un intermedio de el baile. El pastel de color y adornos que van de acuerdo al vestido es de gran tama?o y colorido. La Quinceañera parte el pastel y es la primera en probarlo.
Los Padrinos
Los Padrinos de Honor son quienes acompa?an a la Quinceañera en la Misa. Otros padrinos que participan donando algunos de los art?culos usados por la Quinceañera durante la ceremonia o la recepci?n. Algunos de los padrinos participan en la ceremonia entregando los art?culos personalmente como La Biblia, la Corona, el Ramo etc. Otros cooperan con art?culos que la chica ya lleva desde su casa como el anillo, la esclava etc. Tradicionalmente, los Padrinos de Honor ayudan con la compra del Vestido. Tambi?n hay padrinos que cooperan para los gastos del sal?n, el banquete y otros.
Seg?n las tradiciones regionales estos eventos pueden cambiar de orden y forma, por ejemplo, la Quinceañera puede llegar a la misa con su corona ya puesta, o ser coronada durante la misa o durante el vals.

The Tradition of the Quinceañera
[image]
The transition of the adolescents in women is celebrated in different ways and to different ages in the world. In Mexico, it has a very particular rooting and is celebrated when the girls fulfill Fifteen Years. It does not mean exactly that the girls are ready to marry since some foreign to the tradition they believe. Rather, that the girls can present to themselves as adults in social appropriate events.
The Quinceañera is a Highly catholic tradition though it is celebrated also in other Christian churches. Almost it takes for provided that they were the Spanish conquerors who brought the tradition to Mexico. Actually, the celebration as it is now is an adjustment to the Christianity of the Ceremony of the Aztec Woman. From before the conquest, the Aztecs were celebrating the girls who were coming to the ripeness, in the above mentioned ceremony apart from the banquet and the religious presentation, the mothers were giving advices to his daughters exhorting them to have good behavior. The conquerors took the pagan celebration and converted her to the church as other ceremonies into an effort to catholicize the Aztecs. The dance was replaced by the Waltz and the Aztec altar by the Christian altar.
The Quinceañera can or not include a reception, banquet and dance but the really important thing is the Mass of Action of Thanks.
The Mass
The Mass or presentation in temple is a gratitude and preparation for the new challenges of the girl who is almost a woman. The Garment, The Bouquet, the Ring, the Crown and other accessories have a special meaning.
[image]
The feasted one sits down in the seat of honor next to the altar. They can accompany her up to 14 ladies (representing her first 14 years) with her chamberlains. A Chamberlain of Honor also accompanies the Quinceañera. The ladies are chosen who recently have fulfilled their 15 years of age or are close to fulfilling them.
The Prayer of Thanks and the Blessing of the gifts or gifts during the mass and the Eucharist they are the culmination of the Mass. Nevertheless, nothing equalizes the emotive moment in which the feasted delivery a bouquet of flowers on the altar to Virgin Mary, in general to Our Lady of Guadalupe. In accordance with the possibilities of every family, the garment can be simpler or sophisticated, but always something special and in cake colors. The white color is in use very much between the Mexican community in the United States but in Mexico white is reserved for only Brides on the day of their Weddings. The rest of the accessories must match the garment.
The Reception
After the mass, a reception is celebrated with banquet and dance in honor of the Quinceañera. Other options are that of a Trip or in a more American way, to receive a car. Provided that the car or the trip can be received in any other occasion, the majority of the girls choose for the reception.
The Piñata
The Mexican children generally celebrate their birthdays with a piñata. The Quinceañera celebrates her Fifteen with her last piñata. This tradition is optional since in their origins, the piñata was used in other religious ceremonies, to incorporate it into the birthdays is now a modern tradition.
[image]
The Banquet
The banquet can be based on a traditional Mexican meal and can be so modest or sophisticated according to the economic capacity of the family.
The Waltz
The Mexican girls cannot dance in a public event before fulfilling fifteen years though they can dance in family and school holidays providing that it is free (not embraced with their partners).
[image]
To the Christianize the Ceremony of the Woman, the Spanish friars put their European touch that is kept up to the date. The Quinceañera accompanied by her Chamberlain of Honor and the Ladies on their respective Chamberlains they dance a traditional Waltz.
The waltz is realized by traditional movements or movements of new design. The music can be live or with the modern systems of digital sound. "Tiempo de Vals (Time to Waltz)" by the Puerto Rican recording artist: Chayanne is in use as a modern alternative to the traditional waltzes.
The Quinceañera dances to her first waltz with her with his father or for lack of this one, a relative or friend near to the family.
Later it continues the so called Waltz with the Godparents though this is not necessarily a waltz. It is rather a topic of popular music that the feasted one dances with her godparents (sponsors) changing every 20 seconds or a minute depending on the number of taking part godparents (sponsors).
Las Mañanitas
The traditional song "Las Mañanitas", usually touched by Mariachis is sung after the Waltz or at the moment of the Cake. The Mariachi can also perform other traditional songs. Las Mañanitas can be sung in the house before going to the church, on having gone out of the church or in the reception.
The Doll and the Surprise Gift.
As the piñata, the doll is the last one to receive. This one, a Surprise Gift and other gifts are presented earlier or after the waltz. Also they can be omitted in their totality.
The Dance
After the waltz, the Quinceañera "opens the dance floor ", this means that she is the first one in going out to dance a popular song and invites all the guests to dance also.
The Cake
The cake generally splits some hours later during an interval of the dance or after Dinner, or before the Waltz. The cake of color and adornments that go in accordance with the garment is of great size and color. The Quinceañera divides the cake and is the first one in tasting it.
The Godparents (The Sponsors)
The Godparents of Honor are those who accompany the Quinceañera in the Mass. Other godparents who take part donating some of the articles used by the Quinceañera during the ceremony or the reception. Some of the godparents take part in the ceremony delivering the articles personally as The Bible, the Crown, the Branch etc. they cooperate Others with articles that the girl already takes from his house as the ring, the slave etc. Traditionally, the Godparents of Honor help with the buy of the Garment. Also there are godparents who cooperate for the expenses of the lounge, the banquet and others.
According to the regional traditions these events can change in order and form, for example, the Quinceañera can come to the mass with his already put crown, or be crowned during the mass or during the waltz.
