The bulk of the above photos were randomly taken during the Christmas Midnight mass of December 24-25, 2013 between 10:00 p.m. to 12 midnight and right after the mass at the Parish Church of Saint James the Greater in Bulusan. Included also are some snippets from the dawn masses prior to this big event.
Bulusan has a strong Catholic tradition. This can be traced to its three hundred eighty three years as a parroqia* (founded 1630), one of the oldest parishes in the Bicol region.
