The parol is an
enduring symbol of Christmas in the Philippines, a must-have decoration in
Filipino homes during the long holiday season.
The parol, usually star-shaped to evoke the Star of Bethlehem, is hanged
and lit in front of houses as early as September as a symbol of hope, goodwill
and a bright future. It is no wonder that the colorful parol has been used as a
design motif for many years in Philippine advertising and commercial art. Here
are a few examples:
