(Clearwisdom.net) In the last few years, Falun Gong practitioners from many countries around the world have actively participated in local Christmas parades, spreading the Chinese culture and the principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. They demonstrated exercises, performed Chinese dances and music during the parades and their performances have been warmly welcomed by spectators. They also won numerous proclamations and awards for their excellent performances.

The same year, Falun Gong was the only Chinese group in the Christmas Parade in Montreal. They had been invited three years in a row. In 2010, the Divine Land Marching Band performed in the Christmas parade in Vancouver. More than 60 groups participated, 300 thousand people watched it, and the band was the only Chinese group.

Many Chinese people are proud of the Falun Gong group in the parades, for they represent genuine Chinese culture. Ms. Wang from Shandong province came to Canada a few months ago. She warmly applauded for Falun Gong in the parade. She said, “I am very happy to see Falun Gong practitioners freely demonstrating their beauty and righteousness. They have the freedom in Canada.”

Ms. Wang said: “Several friends of mine practice Falun Gong. They are all good people, but have been persecuted. I am upset about the persecution they suffer, meanwhile I am touched by their spirit. This is why I am so excited to see Falun Gong here. It is nice to live in a free country.”

The following are some pictures from the Christmas parades all over the world.
