Christian Quinceanera Ceremony
(This was found while surfing the internet)

Consecration of a Quinceañera

If you cannot find 14 fourteen girls or if you don`t want to have a "court of attendants", it is appropriate to have the quinceañera stand alone with her parents. It is suggested that the following objects be used in the ceremony.

1. A Bible (preferably with a satin and lace cover or just plain white).
2. Baby shoes (They look better if they are white satin).
3. A ring (either with a birthstone or a small diamond, etc.)
4. Watch (preferably a dressy one)
5. A tiara
6. A rose bud, a rose in half-bloom and a rose in complete bloom.
7. A white 18-inch candle. (It can be decorated with ribbons and small roses to match color scheme.)

8. A small and decorative perfume decanter.
9. A parasol that has been decorated to match the color scheme.
10. A pillow to place by the kneeler (or for her to kneel on in case you don`t have a kneeler). This is to be placed before the ceremony begins; either by an attendant, as part of the processional, or by someone else before the prelude.

Each attendant may carry a white long-stem rose, which they can give to her as she marches out at the end of the ceremony.

You may wish to begin the ceremony with a small explanation of the quinceañera rite of passage. It was originally begun to introduce a young lady in society as ready for courtship. However, evangelicals have changed the meaning to be a time when a young lady dedicates and commits her life to the Lord publicly.
A ceremony is so much more beautiful when it is interspersed with music. For the processional someone may sing “Butterfly Kisses” or a song of that nature. If the parents sing or the quinceañera sings, they may want to choose a song that has a great meaning to them. Make this event very personal. Offer ideas to the young lady and her mother to guide them along.

CEREMONY

Beloved in Jesus Christ, we have gathered here, in God’s presence to give thanks for the fifteen years of life God has given (give the Quinceañera’s complete name using the title Miss or Sister.) We are glad that she decided to celebrate her birthday in God’s house. The Psalmist says: "Because better is a day in your courts that a thousand outside of them. . . "We can say to the (state the family name) family "I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord. "Thank you for the invitation to this celebration, to this moment of Consecration.
This is a happy age, when young girls hold many dreams. But also it is a difficult age because it is at this age when a young lady becomes accountable for her spiritual life. From now on (give name) you`ve ceased to be a little girl for you have become a young lady. Your parents have done what they can in rearing you in the admonition of the Lord, but you will now begin to make decisions and get ready for a little more independence. It is during this time that you will need Jesus as your friend, counselor and above all as Savior. (If someone has a song it may be sung at this moment. Surrender All is a good one.)

(Ask the attendants to stand at the altar). Since you have decided to celebrate your birthday in God’s house, I will dedicate some items to you so that each time you see them you will always remember this joyous event. These are only symbols of that which is to come; that which will be in God’s presence one glorious day.

(Ask for the Bible; give it then to the quinceañera). (Name) “But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the (man) young lady of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Tim. 3:14-17). May this book always be a lamp unto your feet and light unto your path. Study it to show yourself approved unto God.

(Ask for the rose bud). This symbolizes your infancy. At this age you were innocent and unaware of sin. The Kingdom of God was yours without the need of salvation and repentance.
(Ask for the rose in half-bloom). But, as you grew you began to experience the effects of man’s sinful nature in your life. At this age you had a knowledge of right and wrong. At this age is when you began needing Christ as Savior and Lord.

(Ask for the rose in full bloom) And today, as this flower is in full bloom, beautiful and fragrant, so are you as you stand here today. But the Bible says of life, that it is as the grass, it flourishes like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone. Youthfulness is only a brief moment of time in life. All in life is pretense and the only important thing that is eternal is your soul. Keep it and guard it faithfully. And what better way to keep your life but by giving it to The Giver and Keeper of our days? He has promised you life eternal at His side.

(Ask for the perfume; give it to her). This bottle of perfume symbolizes the prayers and worship the saints offer to the Lord. Your life should not only glorify God but it must be used to win souls for Him "For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are the smell of death; to the other the fragrance of life. . . " (2 Cor. 2:15;16). The proverb writer said that perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the psalmist confirms this saying: "May my prayer be set before you like incense." (Psalm 141:2). May you always please the Lord with your life and with your prayers.

(Ask for the parasol). This parasol will help you think on what the Lord has said "(My Glory) will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain" (Isaia
