Christmas in the Philippines

Parols and Christmas lights on display at night. The parol is regarded as an iconic and important symbol of the Filipino Christmas season.[1][2]

Christmas (Filipino: Pasko; [pɐsˈkɔʔ])[a] is one of the biggest holidays in the Philippines. As one of the two predominantly Catholic countries in Asia, the Philippines celebrates the world's longest Christmas season (Filipino: Kapaskuhan);[1][3] Christmas music is played as early as August.[4] The holiday season gradually begins by September, reaching its peak in December during Christmastide, and concludes within the week after New Year's Day,[5] more specifically on the Sunday of Epiphany;[6][7] however, festivities could last until the third Sunday of January, the feast day of the Santo Niño de Cebú.[8][9] Liturgically, the Christmas season is observed by the Catholic Church in the Philippines from Christmas Day (December 25) to the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord (the Sunday after Epiphany).[6]
