Christian parade
floats should be inspirational, fun and have vivid biblical scenery. Scenes of Jesus at important moments in his life are popular ideas, and if the parade is taking place during a holiday, those particular scenes will already be set (birth for Christmas, resurrection for Easter, etc.) However, if the Christian parade is for the celebration of Christianity itself, parade planners should have several floats that each represent a pivitol point in the teachings of Christianity.
Birth of Jesus
Birth of Jesus floats are one idea to kick off the Christian parade. A classic Nativity scene (with live actors) should include Mary, Joseph, the baby Jesus and the three wise men. Consider decorating the float like a barn, with straw and life-sized statues of farm animals. The float can include music (for example, Christmas carols or other inspirational-type music).
Young Life of Jesus
Consider decorating a float that depicts the young life of Jesus, having actors playing Jesus and his father at work at a carpentry table. Decorate the float with scenes from a Middle Eastern background (sand dunes, creeks and desert plants).
Adult Life of Jesus
You can decorate a float with an actor of an adult Jesus preaching to the masses, along with his disciples. Consider dressing all the actors in long robes and sandals. Another idea is to have a bathtub on the float, and have the disciple John perform "baptisms" on the float. Use real water and it will be a hit.
Crucifixion
Avoid having floats depict the Passion, as some people find this unsuitable for children who will surely be visiting the parade. A better idea is to have a simple float that depicts the Crucifixion. Don't make the float too bloody, but instead, focus on the positive notes. For instance, make sure there are people on the float that represent Mary and his disciples, and consider having angelic songs play over loudspeakers.
