“Parol” is a star lantern that is hang on the front door of the house in the Philippines.  It’s a Filipino tradition.  Every year in San Fernando, the capital city of Pampanga they have a Giant Parol competition.  Neighborhood helping each other build it.  Here’s a video I’ve found and we would like to share it to you.

Thousands of beautiful lights and 18 feet tall parols compete every December.  The winner is given the Star of Bethlehem award. It’s amazing how they make this huge lanterns with different light patterns, it’s totally mesmerizing.  Enjoy, hope you like it!
