(Minghui.org) This was the fifth time that Falun Dafa practitioners have participated in the Orange Blossom Festival, which was held this year on April 5 and 6. Nearly two million people from all over Turkey attended this popular event that is held every year in Adana.
Practitioners in colorful costumes participated in the parade, distributed fliers, and demonstrated the exercises on stage. Many people learned about Falun Dafa and how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) persecutes it in China. Many people also learned the exercises.
Falun Dafa practitioners participated in the 13th Adana Orange Blossom Festival.
Banners on the Falun Dafa float read: “Falun Dafa” and “The World Needs Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.” Many people accepted fliers and handmade lotus flowers.
Practitioners did the exercises in Adana Atatürk Park.
Elif talked with practitioners about Falun Dafa and said that she’d been looking for such a practice for a long time. When she heard there was a practice site in Adana, Elif said that she would definitely go there and do the exercises.
Esma joined practitioners while they did the exercises and said she would continue doing them.

On Saturday, April 5, practitioners took the stage to demonstrate the exercises as one practitioner explained what Falun Dafa is and invited the audience to follow the movements and do the exercises. After the demonstration was over, the coordinators thanked practitioners for introducing such a beautiful practice.
