Advent is one of the most joyous season in Philippine Culture. The simbang gabi or the nine dawn masses preceeding Christmas is a devotion most loved by Filipinos. It is anticipated by both the old and the young. It is believed that once you completed the nine dawn masses the Holy Child Jesus will grant your wishes and intentions for the novena. Aside from its religious significance it is also a tradition that binds families and friends together. After the mass, people buy home made cakes and hot chocolate for early breakfast. As the time nears, churhces are getting ready for this event. Our parish church is also preparing for this. Tonight while passing the Church plaza I took a picture of our church's belfry aglow in neon lights.
This is how our church belfry look like in day time.

At night time it is aglow with neon lights purposely placed to celebrate Christmas.
