A bat mitzvah is when a Jewish girl takes on the religious responsibilities of an adult and this is a religious ceremony. A quinceanera is a 15th birthday celebration that is held in parts of Latin America and is the transition from girl to woman. A quinceanera isn't religious in nature. ((Correction: A Quinceanera is extremely religious, usually as a Catholic event. Before the actual event the quinceanera and her family go to a mass where the priest blesses the quinceanera and she confirms her faith in the church and it's teachings. The quinceanera signifies her becoming an adult not just socially but religiously - she is an adult in the eyes of the church. A quinceanera represents the fact that the girl now has responsibilities as an adult and should not be made out to be as meaningless as a sweet 16. The difference between Bat Mitzvahs and Quinceaneras? One is a Jewish celebration and the other is a Catholic celebration.))
