San Antonio fundamentalist Christians ask city to halt King William's Krampus parade
Nov 29, 2024
Roughly 30 people from evangelical churches gathered in front of City Hall Friday to ask local officials to shut down San Antonio's first Krampus Parade, an event they denounced as "demonic" and sure to bring disaster. The parade, modeled after those held in Germany and parts of Central Europe, will take place Thursday, Dec. 5 and pay homage to a folkloric demon who punishes naughty kids at Christmastime. While the parades feature people dressed as the horned and menacing Krampus, they don't celebrate devil worship.
