NEW YORK—Donned in bright yellow jackets and caps that cut through the cloudy, overcast day on Sunday, May 13, over 1,000 adherents of Falun Gong gathered to create a massive message.

The participants—practitioners of a traditional spiritual practice also known as Falun Dafa—joined to form 5 Chinese characters spanning across the lawn on Governors Island, New York. The event marks the final day of last week’s World Falun Dafa Day celebrations.
