European Falun Gong Practitioners Held a Grand Chinese New Year Parade in Paris (Photos)


By Falun Gong practitioners in Europe

(Clearwisdom.net) On the 4th day of the year of Youyi (February 12, 2005), hundreds of Falun Gong practitioners from all over Europe held a grand Chinese New Year celebration parade in Belleville, a busy Chinese area of Paris.

The parade consisted of a waist drum formation, traditional Chinese fan dancing and lotus flower dancing, costumes from the Tang Dynasty and a Falun Gong exercise demonstration float. Firecrackers, gongs, drums and elegant dances expressed heartfelt New Year wishes to everyone.

A group of practitioners walked in the parade holding photos of people who have lost their lives in the genocide against Falun Gong in China, reminding everyone that even on such a special celebration day like New Year's Day, good people practicing Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance are being tortured, persecuted and cannot go back to their families to celebrate the New Year.

France Culture, Radio France Internationale, NTDTV, The Epoch Times and other media representatives reported on this activity.
