We attended the house blessing of a very good friend Bel and Les yesterday. Housewarming is one of the most interesting filipino and catholic traditions. Our priest from Don Bosco Parish church blessed everything in sight as we all lit candles and following him around the house while he sprinkled holy water on the walls, floors and even to us. He also blessed the candies and coins which was strewn by Bel. We then retrieve all the candies and coins for us to keep with the belief that it will bring us luck and prosperity.
We then feasted on delicious foods prepared by a catering service in our area. The grand celebration with food is a necessary practice, as the hosts must share what they have. It was really a wonderful night with friends and neighbors. And of course, no filipino party is complete without karaoke.
