Parades & Processions
 arades
and processions are part of church history. In Bible days, theatrical
productions frequently took place in the open; in fact, seashores
were the amphitheaters of the day. By displaying banners of all
the books of the Bible with the theme of each book, we convey the
relevance of the Word of God in society.
Pick A Story!
 ith
Toronto having so many languages and nations in one place, the
parade shares God’s word in a visual, non-verbal way. Biblical
costumes and floats help tell the various stories. A church or
group can pick a story of the Bible or a theme creatively depicting
its message in drama or on a float. Other participants wearing
colorful T-shirts lend festivity.
Live Gospel music on flatbed trucks
provides a mobile platform leading everyone to enter into worship.
John
Hodge has portrayed Jesus every year since the parade started
in 1999.
