Celebrating of Christmas Amidst COVID-19 at Vigan City

 


Christmas is a joyous occasion for everyone, young and adult alike. We celebrate the festivals oftentimes with our loved ones. It is the time of the year that we get the chance to be with them and just the thought of it makes us excited. We commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ by attending the Misa De Gallo that starts on the 16th of December.

St. Paul Cathedral is always placed with church goers, but during this time of pandemic we have to observed physical distancing inside the church as well as outside  to avoid the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Celebrating Christmas in Vigan during this time of pandemic is far different from how we used to. Christmas parties at public places is prohibited, we used to exchange gifts with our families, friends, and classmates but now during this time of COVID-19  virus, we are not allowed to do so. Gatherings are strictly prohibited. The good things is even with the pandemic, Christmas decors, lights and tree can be seen around the Vigan. Plaza Burgos and Salcedo are filled with Christmas lights and decorations.
