In this December 20, 2015 photo, Daniela Santos Torres, 15, gives a candle to her father as she gifts candles to the most important members of her family during her quinceanera party in the town of Punta Brava near Havana, Cuba. The quinceañera is an ancient tradition in Latin culture that marks a young girl’s transition into womanhood at age 15, which means many families will go all out to give their princess a great time. Daniela left Cuba when she was 3, returning in December for her quinceanera photos and party. She now lives in Glendale, Arizona, where her father runs a home remodeling business. She said returning to Cuba for her celebration was “a dream”, allowing her to include her extended family and friends on the island. (Photo by Ramon Espinosa/AP Photo)
