    Philippine Holiday Celebrations and Their Custom

    Uploaded by

    Parols are unique Christmas symbols in the Philippines. They are star-shaped lanterns made from bamboo frames covered in paper with tassels on each point. Filipinos begin making parols three months before Christmas to decorate homes, shops, and public places to signify the start of the holiday season. Simbang Gabi is a 400-year old Catholic tradition of nine dawn masses from December 16th to December 24th. It traces its roots to Mexico and Spain and allows Filipinos to accompany Mary in the days leading up to Christmas. People often buy foods like puto bumbong and bibingka to eat after attending the masses.
