15th birthday party

One of the origins of this celebration comes from the Aztec and Mayan cultures of Mexico that performed the puberty rites to indicate the entrance to adult life and the acceptance of women's responsibilities.

At present, this celebration has already become a custom because few people remember their origin, the girls only want their celebration without knowing that, if we returned a few decades ago this was the way in which the parents "presented" their daughters to society and they said that he was now of age to marry and be a mother.

Generally in Mexico, this celebration is carried out with a party in which the girl's friends and their relatives are invited, it depends on the budget, the basic thing in this celebration is that the cake party is carried out, you will be He gives his last toy (it can be a doll, a stuffed animal or something similar) and a waltz is danced with the father, the godparents, the chamberlains and the occasional dear guest.

In Mexico the first and second day of November is celebrated.

During this celebration an offering is made with things that relatives who died and that are now remembered.

Some people also dress in catrinas and catrines and parade showing their costumes in the street while others go to the cemeteries to fix the graves of their relatives.

Some of those who go to the cemeteries even talk to their relatives and they feel that they are really there, listening to them.

In my house we put candies and chocolates in the form of skulls and bones in addition to bread, fruit and photos of the people to whom these foods are directed. 

To put the offering first we clean a table and then, we put some stacked boxes from the largest to the smallest so that there is a type of staircase.

later we start putting fruits and breads, on the second level we put incense and confetti decorations, on the third level it depends on how much time we have, if we have a lot, we make handmade paper arrangements, if we don't have time, we put the sweets and the photos up.
