(Clearwisdom.net) Christmas is approaching. Cities in New Zealand are holding their annual Christmas parades. On November 20, 2004, practitioners attended the annual Rotorua Christmas Parade for the first time. "Heavenly maidens", a float and a waist drum group displayed various colorful aspects of traditional Chinese culture. Along the parade route, local citizens warmly applauded the procession.

After the activity, Mr. Wayne, President of the local Kiwanis Club, the parade's sponsor, said that he was very happy to see the Falun Gong parade entry and expressed his hope that practitioners would attend other community activities in the future.
