Simbang gabi in Manila boasts a lively atmosphere as it’s often a family affair, the streets are bustling with people which creates a sense of community and camaraderie. Churches are also adorned with impressive Christmas decorations, making the event festive and joyful.
Simbang gabi is a Filipino Christmas tradition that involves a series of nine dawn masses celebrated in the days leading up to Christmas. It’s a significant part of Filipino culture as it promotes spiritual preparation and religious devotion.
