Atlanta, GA – Quinceañ
The Quinceañera is the ancient coming-of-age celebration for young Latina girls on their fifteenth birthday. The bible given to her at a special Thanksgiving Mass is a powerful symbol of her new maturity. Brooke Johnson, My Quince Favors' Product Manager, says the observance of the Quinceañera is rich in significance. "Faith runs deep in the families of the Latino community," she says. "My Quince Favors respects that tradition. We want to help bring young girls a Bible they can be proud of, for themselves and for their heritage."
The new Bibles feature a modern edge, for the Quince girl who also wants to celebrate her future. "Young Latina girls now are influenced by so much of American culture," Johnson explains. "They truly grow into women of two worlds. The gifts they receive, the Bibles included, should reflect that."
The site features a wide assortment of embroidered and personalized bibles, many with delicate stitching and needlework on the cover. They're available in Catholic versions that include the Old and New Testaments, with many featuring charming illustrations inside. The covers boast an assortment of designs, from princesses to fairy tale settings to elegantly straightforward "Mis Quince Años" ("My fifteenth birthday") inscriptions. Quince girls can choose their color scheme, personalization, and cover illustration on most Bibles.
"They're wonderful gifts for now and they make lovely keepsakes for later," Johnson says. "A celebration is about making memories that last, and these are instant keepsakes for just that purpose."
