Banners of the books of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation are raised as participants wearing colourful parade T-shirts sing and dance to lively upbeat music along downtown Toronto streets. The event brings thousands of people from different Christian denomination, charities and organizations."
A woman who was stuck in traffic on Yonge Street as the parade went by, sent in an e-mail the day after the parade saying, “It brought tears to my eyes to see everyone praising Jesus. It felt like it was what Heaven will be like!”
