In the middle of the COVID-19 outbreak, people celebrate Christmas

-

 

In the middle of the COVID-19 epidemic, how does one enjoy Christmas this year? This is most likely the first time in modern history that we are encouraged to celebrate the season of Christmas in its purest form, in its simplicity.

Amid all of this, we've been thinking about how to enjoy Christmas this year with just family members who live in the same place. We're thinking about wearing masks, keeping social distance in check, and washing our hands often. For our mutual security and safety, we are being prevented from seeing one another. This year, we won't be able to enjoy the typical Christmas cheer and merrymaking.

COVID, on the other hand, should not detract from our Christmas celebrations! This season, let us share more hope, peace, joy, and love!

This is where I am reminded of our Savior's birth. Simply said, it's a Christmas tale. Only his mother and father were present when our Lord and Savior was born in a manger. A shepherd, a few animals, and the three magi were among his visitors. It serves as a heartfelt reminder of the genuine meaning of the holiday season. We've all had a rough year this year, but we're still holding on to hope. God is with us, has always been with us, and will always be with us, despite all the chaos and dread that the epidemic has brought. The world's light is Jesus!

May our hearts continue to be open to the infant Jesus, our lives continue to reflect Christ's presence, and our homes continue to be a beacon of God's peace. We will all be able to get through this crisis together if we have a lot of faith, hope, and love.

LENTEN SEASON

       Have you ever wondered what people are talking about when they say they’re giving something up for Lent? Do you want to understand what Lent is and how it relates to Easter?      Lent is the 40 days (not including Sundays) from Ash Wednesday to the Saturday before Easter. Lent is often described as a time of preparation and an opportunity to go deeper with God. This means that it’s a time for personal reflection that prepares people’s hearts and minds for Good Friday and Easter.      Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent. You may have noticed people with a smudged, black cross on their foreheads. Those are ashes from the Ash Wednesday service. The ashes symbolize our grief for the things we’ve done wrong and the resulting division of imperfect people from a perfect God.      Maundy Thursday is the day before Good Friday. It commemorates the night before Jesus died, when He shared the Passover meal with His clo...

       Every year on January 25th, the Vigan City Fiesta is celebrated. It is commemorated on the feast day of St. Paul the Apostle's conversion. The patron saint of Vigan City is St. Paul. Before his conversion, St. Paul was known as Saul, a fervent persecutor of Christians. His name was changed to Paul when he was struck by a personal experience with Jesus Christ on his route to Damascus, and he braved a lot of hardships and danger to bring the message of God to far-flung locations.      The Metropolitan Cathedral, which is the heart of the Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia, is Vigan's primary cathedral and is dedicated to St. Paul. The St. Paul College of Ilocos Sur, a notable Catholic educational institution in Vigan that is next to the cathedral, is also dedicated to the patron. The Vigan City Fiesta is normally held over a period of many days. It involves the celebration of Vigan's cityhood anniversary, which takes place on the 27th of January each ye...

New Year, New Me!

       On the first of January, the expression "new year, new me" is frequently used in the United Kingdom. On this day, it is highly popular to make a new year's resolution. This may be as simple as giving up something you enjoy, such as sweets or chocolate, in order to be healthy. People also prefer to try something new, such as taking up a new activity or going to the gym, in order to improve their fitness. In fact, there are a lot of options for you! As a new year's resolution, the majority of individuals I know opt to join a gym and eat better foods. Many people gain weight during the holidays because they eat a lot of fatty foods.      In my opinion, New Year's resolutions are a terrific way to motivate individuals to do something positive for themselves. It's easier to keep to your own resolution when there are a lot of other individuals who do the same thing. A group of pals might make a fitness commitment together. Sometime during the wee...
