Christmas Parade Part 3

I tagged along the parade as well, took some pics. and at the same time enjoyed myself too. haha...can feel the joy of Christmas. As we paraded along, we wished the people around Merry Christmas. Some churches gave some brochures and if not mistaken, some even gave some souvenirs. hehe...


the parade..

the mini float done by the Methodist Churches


the pastors and reverands

Calvary Charismatic centre


the policemen

one of churches had this, the horn i think. the girl was blowing it all the way. quite interesting. sorry for the blurry pic, they moved a bit fast..hahaa...

ah...interesting formation and costume too...they are wearing traditional attire...

some special float design...


can u feel the massiveness? haha...


the city mayor was invited as well! He was there to give the crowd moral support. :)


some performances by different churches


another favourite shot of mine. :) looks good. they are the Operafest Children Choir from KL, invited to perform after the parade. They have very impressive and awesome voice! voices of angels. haha...


the stage, it's in the middle of the crowd, something like a stadium...



yeap, Jesus loves you! :)

Wish you have a blessed and joyful Christmas! From Gabriel and family. :D

i think the horn thing is something called a shofar, an instrument made from the horn of a ram or other kosher animal. haha. symbol of warfare n victory i suppose... looks so grand. haha
