Celebrating 44 Years: 74 Couples Holy Blessing

Happy 44th Holy Blessing Anniversary to the 74 Couples!

On February 21, 1977, the late Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon and Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, co-founders of Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU and affectionately known as True Parents, officiated at the largest Holy Marriage Blessing ceremony held outside Korea at the time. Seventy-four couples from 11 nations participated in the ceremony, which was held in the Terrace Room of the New Yorker Hotel in New York City. 

For the first time since the 36 Couples Holy Blessing in 1961, Rev. Moon and Dr. Moon posed for photos with each couple individually. They also held a banquet for participants after the ceremony which included various social activities.

Congratulations to all 74 couples celebrating their blessing anniversary!
