Epiphany-Three Kings Day in Switzerland

Epiphany falls on January 6th, and is known as Three Kings Day. Traditionally it marks the day when the three kings presented their gifts to the baby Jesus.

A widespread custom connected with this day is "star singing". Some of the singers are dressed as the three kings and carry a star with them as they sing in the streets that is representing the star which guided the three kings in the biblical story.

In the Lötschental in Canton Valais the festival takes place on January 5th, when elaborately dressed kings parade on hobby horses accompanied by jesters. They are accompanied by two companions, known as "goigglär", dressed in colourful costumes, whose job is to draw attention to their horse and show it off as they make their way round the houses of the village notables and then into the restaurants, eating and drinking at each. The same custom is also carried out on New Year's eve with minor differences.

Into complex designs
At this point, your baby will begin to move beyond his early preferences for bright or two-toned objects toward more detailed and complicated designs, colors, and shapes. Show your baby — and let him touch — a wider variety of objects. Good choices include plastic cookie cutters, soft balls, and stuffed animals.

Hear ye, hear ye
Your baby can differentiate familiar voices from other sounds and is becoming a better listener. He also can show you that he's in tune with his environment. Notice how he looks to see where certain noises are coming from.

An ongoing conversation (although still one-sided!) can help your baby develop his sense of place. He may even watch your mouth as you talk, fascinated by how it all works.

Note: If you have any doubt about your baby's hearing, don't hesitate to mention your concerns to your healthcare provider. Even though your baby's hearing may have already been tested, new problems can arise.

A helping hand
The chaotic first months are over and your baby's schedule is probably becoming more predictable. If you and your partner are raising your baby, it's important for both of you to get a chance to care for and bond with your baby. Make sure whichever one of you is not the primary caretaker gets regular time alone with your little one, for bathing him, changing him, and just getting tuned into his needs.

If you're a single parent, try to find another adult, such as a grandparent or an aunt, to spend time with your baby. This will give your child an opportunity to bond with other loving adults, and give you a welcome break from the hard work of being a parent to a young child.

Remember, your baby is an individual
All babies are unique and meet milestones at their own pace. Developmental guidelines simply show what your baby has the potential to accomplish — if not right now, then soon. If your baby was premature, keep in mind that kids born early usually need a bit more time to meet their milestones.

Palo Leyte History Summary

Palo is strategically located in the northern part of the Province of Leyte, 8 miles from the capital city of Tacloban. It is composed of 33 barrios (barangays) with a total population of 40,000. The main source of income for most of the citizenry is buying and selling farm products and the local wine "tuba" manufacturing and fermentation.

Palo is a town that takes pride not in its material wealth for it rates poorly in the economic growth, but rather, in the fame and glory for being a rare TOWN OF FIRSTS - culturally, historically and spiritually.

The landmark that has brought Palo to the annals of world history is the Red Beach, Candahug, where Gen. Douglas McArthur first landed to liberate the Philippines from the Japanese occupation on October 20, 1944. Palo was also once the capital fo Leyte and the Purissima Bridge was the first steel bridge built in the Province.

Culturally speaking, no other town or barrio in our country has been more blessed to have a great number of natural born artists, particularly in the field of music. Palo was the first to implement an official town hymn and a municipal seal. The town is able to sing original Paloano songs with arrangements and full orchestrations catered by the most number of local band members and conductors. In 1990, the first regional Model Filipino Award for Music was conferred to the late Prof. Agustin El O'Mora who had composed and arranged more than 4,000 songs, including the town hymn. His operetas like the "Karahibot", "Star of Liberation" and "Limasawa" have been preserved by the Divine Word University Museum and Library, while the "Golden Book of Palo" which he wrote for 15 years, awaits publication. Very recently, the famous all-male chorale, The Rah Rah Rousers, launched their maiden volume of Visayan Songs on cassette tape. Moreover, the Palo Development Council has gained a nationwide attention through accreditation by the Department of Tourism to make annual tourist attractions two of our traditional activities: "The Pamalandong", which is a reenactment of the Passion and Death of our Lord Jesus during the Lenten season and the colorful "Palo Christmas Festival", a joint project with the multi-awardee tenor concert singer, Enrico Saboren.

On the spiritual side, Palo is believed to be a sacred place by clerical observers. It is the seat of the ecclesiastical province, the Archdiocese, where the Roman Catholic Archbishop resides in Bukid Tabor. One can find the Metropolitan Cathedral in Palo and also, the seedbed of vocations to the priesthood is found at the Sacred Heart Seminary and the St. John the Evangelist School of Theology. Two Paloano nuns were Superior Generals in their respective congregations. To date, there are 79 ordained priests and 106 nuns from the town alone.

Indeed, Palo has established a distinctive and unique extraordinary identity as a conservative and religious town with a highly cultural characteristic that has made Paloanos extremely proud of their birthplace.
