Russia: Dafa Practitioners Receive Warm Welcome in Stavropoly City's 230th Anniversary Celebrations By a Practitioner in Russia A series of events to celebrate the 230th anniversary of Stavropoly City were held on September 29th and 30th 2007. Falun Gong practitioners were invited to participate in the celebration in Pobed Park for two days.
Wearing yellow costumes, Falun Gong practitioners demonstrated the five sets of exercises to residents participating in the activities. They also showed visitors how to fold paper lotus flowers at a booth nearby. They took advantage of this opportunity to introduce visitors to the Falun Gong practice and the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance. They also told the visitors touching stories about practitioners' efforts to raise awareness about the persecution against Falun Gong by the Communist regime in China. Through participating in the city' anniversary celebrations in this special way, practitioners brought Falun Dafa's magnificence to this city. They were warmly welcomed by local residents. After the event was over, Stavropoly City's Cultural and Recreational Park Administration issued a special recognition letter to the Falun Gong practitioners in appreciation of their participation. The letter stated: "Your performance has made our anniversary celebrations more wonderful, and left a clear impression on the visitors participating in the activities. People were overwhelmed by your righteous energy."
