Christmas Celebrations in The Philippines
There are over two million of these balikbayans scattered across the globe, with more in Saudi Arabia than any other country. That means a lot of folks will be looking for a Jeddah to Manila flight come holiday time, so book tickets early.
Simbang Gabi is a devotional 9 day mass for the anticipation of Christmas and to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary.It starts from December 16 to December 24. It originated from the early Spanish rule and was first used by farmers because of the early times the masses started. Muslims celebrate Ramadan to honor Allah, and Filipinos celebrate Simbang Gabi to honor the coming of Jesus Christ. Both cultures participate in their holidays to deepen their faith in what they believe in.
