A fact from Easter parade appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 22 April 2008, and was viewed approximately 1,858 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that at the height of its popularity, New York's Easter Parade drew crowds of over a million?
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]
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]
