Quinceanera Tradition Highlighted in Flor Abarca’s Day
Flor Abarca’s quinceanera at St Francis Xavier Church and Newman Catholic Center followed age old rites with 14 damas and 14 chambelanes, a Mass, and a reception. She wore white, received a last doll, high heels, a tiara and scepter, and was crowned queen for a day. Godparents funded major items, illustrating family led planning and tradition.
