Hardworking personnel from the General Services Office (GSO) put the final touches to their preparations for the ceremonial switch-on of the Christmas lights in City Hall and parks and gardens set on Friday, November 29.
Themed “Enchanting Christmas – Christmas in Blooms,” this year’s Christmas display highlights beautiful and colorful flowers that are considered as “metaphors for life’s journey – from bud to bloom – reminding us of the beauty and impermanence inherent in all things.”
Centerpiece of the Christmas display are the poinsettias, with the star-shaped petals symbolizing the Star of Bethlehem – Jesus Christ, the symbol of goodwill and community spirit, according to Assistant GSO Arch. Rizamay Basing.
The ceremonial switch-on of the City Hall Christmas lights on Friday will kick off Christmas Festival 2024 or Festival de Navidad 2024 in Zamboanga City. It will be preceded by the City Government Christmas parade.
