    Again and again this video suggests that True Parents Birthday is the beginning point of the Holy Day Period. But for many years Father emphasized four major holy days: God’s Day, Parents Day, Children’s Day, and Day of All Things. How can the speaker talk of the holy days and not even mention God’s Day? This is very confusing. Likewise, events at our local church in Boston are emphasizing True Parents Birthday with a yute competition that day, but not on God’s Day. What has happened? Again and again our traditions are changing before our very eyes.

      Of course the Holy Days begin chronologically with Heavenly Parents’ Day, which we celebrated on February 8th. This year Heavenly Parents Day was celebrated on a local and national level. Reports of these celebrations are available on our website here.

      All the Holy Days, of course, would not have come into existence had it not been for the birth, marriage and victory of True Parents. So it is highly appropriate to have a glorious international celebration of True Parents’ birthday, and our team is happy and honored to be here in Korea and hope that our reports can bring something of the excitement to those who were not able to be here in person.

      We have one more celebration to come: Foundation Day, the newest of the Holy Days, which True Parents said marks the official beginning of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Cheon Il Guk. Live coverage is available here and we hope all will join us.
