Christmas in the Philippines [2020] 🎄🎁

This video shows the Christmas celebrations in the Philippines where the Christmas celebrations have a special flavor. In this country, where 90% of the population is Catholic, Christmas is the most important holiday of the year. Christmas celebrations are a mixture of traditions, from the 3 centuries of occupation of the Spanish crown which introduced Christianity in 1521 and the 50 years under American rule from 1898 to 1946. The count for "Pasko" which means Christmas in Filipino begins at the beginning of September. The countdown starts 100 days before. And not just 24 days like the advent calendar! The main ornament is the ‘’ Parol ’’ It represents the Star of Bethlehem who guided the Three Kings to the manger, it symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and the spirit of hope and benevolence of the Filipinos at this Christmas time. From December 16, it is the ‘’ Novena ’’ For 9 days, symbolizing the 9 months of Mary's pregnancy, the inhabitants of the archipelago go to mass at dawn around 3 or 4 in the morning, to accompany the birth of Jesus. This mass is also called the ‘’ Missa de Gallo ’, the rooster's mass due to its early hour. Popular belief is that whoever attends these nine Masses can have their wish fulfilled in the New Year. Masses are ritually followed by a snack called '' Painit '', where the '' Bibingka '' cakes made from sticky rice and eggs and the '' Puto Bumbong '', purple rice cakes wrapped in banana leaves are on offer. As well as hot drinks such as coffee, hot chocolate or even ‘’ salabat ’, an infusion made from ginger. The evenings around Christmas are punctuated by ‘’ Christmas Carols ’’ These are groups of children who will sing in heart from house to house with instruments made by themselves and beg for drinks, ‘’ Salabat ’,’ ’Kakanin’ ’cakes, sweets and a few cents. Another Christmas tradition, inherited from the American ‘’ Secret Santa ’’ and which is widespread in the Philippines is the practice of ‘’ Monito Monita ’’ Groups of friends exchange gifts, after agreeing on the theme, budget and number of gifts. On the evening of the 24th, the streets empty and everyone meets up with their family. At 10 p.m., everyone has dressed up and headed for the church to attend the festive mass of fest ’Pasko’ ’’ A whole ritual has developed about the ‘’ Misa de Gallo ’, especially that of the‘ ’Panunuluyan’ ’tradition. It refers to the search for the hostel by Saint Joseph and Mary. A young couple, symbolizing the Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph, go knocking on the doors of houses asking the occupants to accommodate them. As in the Bible, they find the door closed. This Panunuluyan ends when this couple goes to church shortly before the start of Mass, the mes ’Missa de Aguinaldo’ ’ Then it’s Christmas dinner time. This meal, called oche Noche Buena, includes: Ham, Christmas ham; lechon, a roast pork ;a dobo; queso de bola, cheese balls wrapped in red paraffin and above all a basket of twelve round fruits each symbolizing the happiness hoped for for the following twelve months. On the morning of December 25, Filipinos visit their extended family, pay homage aî ’Pagmamàno’ ’to their elders and receive blessings from them. The practice involves grabbing the older person's hand and then pressing the top against their slightly tilted forehead. As for the children, they will visit their Ninong and Ninan who are the godparents, to receive their gifts. On December 28, Filipinos celebrate the Holy Innocents. In the Christian religion, the Day of the Holy Innocents is the commemoration of a rather tragic event. The massacre of children under two born in Bethlehem, ordered by King Herod I, who wanted to get rid of Jesus of Nazareth. The word innocent can have the meaning of naïve, the one who gets rid of. They are playing pranks! Then on December 31st is' New Year's Eve ''. Filipinos are waking up and will share ‘’ Media Noche ’’, a midnight feast that symbolizes their hopes for prosperity for the coming year. And finally, Christmas ends on Epiphany on January 6 with the arrival of the Three Kings. Or at the latest on the day of the Black Nazarene's miraculous procession, January 9. The Black Nazarene, is a sculpture of Jesus of Nazareth kept in the Basilica of the Black Nazarene in Manila. Filipinos are proud to claim that their Christmas celebration is the longest and happiest in the world. A unique celebration, full of hope and happiness to be experienced in the most western country of Southeast Asia!
