Philippine Christmas Lantern Festival is set in the Philippines. Many don`t know that the Christmas celebration in the Philippines is very long. We celebrate Christmas starting in September and ends in the first week of January which we call the three kings. Like here in Japan nowadays illumination is a pop culture. But in the Philippines, we put many Christmas lights in our homes. The more Christmas décor and lights the more fun. In each home, you can find a bright lantern “STAR” that symbolizes that Jesus is born and Jesus is home.
Today, the much-awaited Giant Lantern Festival is now set for people in the Philippines especially near its vicinity and for tourists. The lantern festival is held in San Fernando Pampangga which is the northern part of the Philippines.
The Giant Lantern Festival is a festival that showcases the beautifully handmade Christmas lantern The Giant Lantern rises at 18 feet in diameter and is fitted with close to 7,000 bulbs that blink on and off through a number of rotors in sync with a medley of Filipino Christmas songs, these giant lanterns let out not less than 10 designs that feature geometric shapes, flowers, fans, cones and hearts glowing in all colors of the rainbow.
The exhibition is usually capped by the opening of the innermost circle in half to reveal in full bloom what the lantern makers designed to be the showcase of their presentation like the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to the grand applause from a crowd estimated at 20,000 each year. The festival is participated in by some 8-10 villages of the City San Fernando in Pampanga with each one creating its own design, color combination, and interplay of lights and sound. The city is known as the lantern capital of the Philippines.
