Did you know that Sakon Nakhon is home to the largest Christian community in Thailand? During the festive season, the community of Tha Rae decorates their homes with stars and colorful lights, creating nativity scenes. The area also boasts French-style antique houses adorned with lights, welcoming tourists. Every year, from December 23rd to 25th, a star procession tradition takes place, spreading joy during the end-of-year celebrations.

Why the Star Procession?

The star in Christianity symbolizes the birth of Jesus Christ and served as a guide for the Magi to find the baby Jesus in the stable in Bethlehem, Palestine. The exact origin of the Christmas star procession tradition is unclear, but it is believed to have existed since the introduction of Christianity to the northeastern region of Thailand in 1881.
