Parol
Photo by on
· The "parol" is the Filipino Christmas star, symbolizing the one that shone over Bethlehem about 2000 years ago. Simple ones are made of bamboo and plastic, with a single incandescent bulb inside. The more elaborate parols like this are multi-colored with synchronized blinking lights made of various materials like native capiz shells soldered together.
