Cabalen Christmas Countdown 19: Parol

in cabalenchristmascountdown •  6 years ago 

Hello Steemians and Cabalens,

How is everyone doing? This is already late because I had to wait for my resource credits to refresh in order for this post to go through.

Our theme today is parol which translates to lantern. I must say that a parol is an ultimate Philippine Christmas symbol. I know others have something similar but this is our very own. It is usually made from bamboo sticks and colored paper but you may find some made out of capiz , coconut fiber etc. It all depends on and available resources and creativity. It is traditionally a five point star but others have their own versions.

If you have your own type of holiday lantern please show it to us on your drawing.

Thank you guys for participating. Keep steeming my friends.

In Malaysia, we are so accustomed to those sold at mall we no longer make one. What a shame. So we use those Led one for children. But we play lanterns only during Mooncake festival, not in Christmas. So it is interesting to find out that parol is a Christmas symbol.

We use candle though, or just buy any Christmas lantern from mall to decorate the house
or especially during Christmas carolling. 😁

Love your drawing.
