The reader is solemnly told about the first Easter Parade: "The first was on Palm Sunday as Jesus was welcomed to Jerusalem by an adoring throng." Unintentionally amusing, this article imagines a connection between the walk-about and an Easter procession. Not historical. --Wetman (talk) 22:00, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No imagining here. All is sourced. Lou Sander (talk) 22:47, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sauced or plain the article says "a festive strolling procession on Easter Sunday... with or without religious significance." --Wetman (talk) 07:37, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
