The League
of Mexican-American Women sponsors the event to both honor and
reserve Mexican history and heritage and to generate scholarship
funds. Fourteen-year-old girls serve as Botoncitos ( Little Rosebuds)
who " bloom '' into Florecitas the following year. The little
ladies in waiting Botoncitos are the attendants at Mass, and
stand as honor guards when the Florecitas present their flowers
to the Virgin Mary. |
