For example, we know Hispanics practice these traditions: Shave their baby's hair, celebrate "Quincea�era," name one of their brothers or sisters as god-father and god-mother for their children, pierce their baby girl's ears, give some special jewelry at birth to their little ones, have the father of the bride pay for the wedding, tell their scary Latin American stories to their children and many more!
