Christmas, traditional “parol” or lantern

TWINKLE, TWINKLE STAR. Traditional "parol" or lantern vendors work double-time to wrap their holiday merchandise at a store in Quiapo, Manila on Friday (Nov. 3, 2023). The ornament, made of capiz, wooden sticks, papel de hapon or crepe paper, and cellophane, is a popular Christmas decor in Filipino houses this time of the year. (PNA photo by Jess M. Escaros Jr.)
