Cavalcade
CavalcadeāFrom the Latin caballicare (āto ride on horsebackā), ācavalcadeā originally referred only to processions on horseback. In certain areas of Scotland, ALL SAINTSā DAY was celebrated with a cavalcade: The inhabitants of Hirt (St. Kilda) conducted an Anniversary Cavalcade of All Saints, which included a feast and a procession in which HORSES were ridden using only a straw rope for harness.
