Filipino ParolHistory of the Parol:
A parol (pronounced [pa' rol], also written as paról or parul) is a Filipino ornamental lantern displayed during the Christmas season. Parols are traditionally constructed using bamboo and Japanese paper, and are illuminated with candles, oil lamps, or carbide lamps. Modern parols can be made using other materials such as plastic, metal, and capiz shells and are usually illuminated with electric lighting. Its most-common form is a five-pointed star, although it can come in various shapes and sizes.
The parol is a traditional part of the Panunulúyan pageant in the nine-day Christmas Novena procession during the Spanish colonial period of the Philippines. It was initially rectangular or oblong in shape and was made with white paper, but eventually came to be made in various shapes and colors. It became standardized to a five-pointed star (symbolizing the Star of Bethlehem) during the American colonial period. It remains an iconic symbol of Filipino Christmas.
This parol is made of plastic and has a rear mount on the back side which can be attach to the top of a Christmas tree or can be hung from anywhere with the use of a string or wire (not included). Each Parol is made to order so please allow for 1-2 days before shipping notifications are sent.
