What is a Filipino Parol?

A Filipino parol is a beautiful and vibrant Christmas lantern that is very special to the Philippines. The parol is not just any decoration; it’s a symbol of hope and happiness, especially during the Christmas season in the Philippines. It represents the Star of Bethlehem, the bright star that guided the Wise Men to the baby Jesus.
