Christmas tree lighting goes back to the tradition when Christmas trees were decorated with candles which symbolized Christ being the light of the world. It is being observed yearly by COA Region III to remind everyone that Christ should still be the center of their daily lives, may it be in the family or in the workplace. – Janette Canlas Ama
