Virtual Christmas
Christmas
Season is one of the most wonderful times of the year. It is one of the most
awaited season where families would come home and celebrate with their
families. Christmas is all about love, giving, forgiving and the celebration of
the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ. It holds one of the best memories we
made this year, even if you might not receive any
money or gift, the best present you could ever receive is the bond of you and
your family and friends, as well as the birth of Jesus Christ Himself.
Filipinos
are one of the most Christmas-oriented people. In Biguenos many people would decorate
their homes with flashy Christmas lights, parols, ornaments and prepare Christmas
trees usually in the start of the ber months.
The
heritage of vigan would annually launch a new Christmas tree with different
themes. The Christmas tree would usually hidden by a big cloth. People would
gather in large numbers to joint this annual tradition. The event is one of the
highlights of the Raniag Festival. This has been an added attraction for
tourist visiting vigan during the Christmas seasons. Sadly, due to the pandemic,
the government restricted the public in attending this year’s opening ceremony
but instead have them witness it in a Facebook live. Thought this is a good solution
to celebrate knowing our situation.
There
are many traditions and rich culture in Biguenios, and I am proud to have
experienced all of these. Thought we are still in a pandemic so always keep
safe.
