The 22nd Anniversary of True Foundation Day for the Nation of the Unified World was celebrated in East Garden from 7:00 AM on Saturday, October 3. The event started with bows by True Children’s families, followed by bows by all Blessed Families, bows by representatives of the three major providential nations (Korea, Japan and America), bows by representatives of the world’s major religions, bows by representatives of Boon-bong-wangs around the world, bows by representatives of the world Abel realm, bows by representatives of the world Cain realm, and finally bows by representatives of the spirit world.

Next, everyone recited the Family Pledge in unison. Then, Rev. and Mrs. Hyung Jin Moon offered the representative prayer. In his prayer, Rev. Hyung Jin Moon asked that we could realize how great True Parents’ true love is on this Foundation Day. He also asked that the whole world can recognize True Parents as the Second Coming of Christ and the Messiah. He asked for the Unification Church to be revived. This was followed by True Parents cutting the celebration cake while everyone else sang Happy Foundation Day.

Next, True Parents partook of the Holy Meal as is the tradition on Holy Days. Then, True Parents gave rice cake to each of their children, children-in-law and grandchildren in order from oldest to youngest. When this was completed, True Parents asked Mrs. Wonju McDevitt to read Owner of Peace and Owner of Lineage. After the reading, True Father went to the spot where leaders usually stand to give reports and started speaking. He spoke to everyone but also gave special guidance to major leaders of our movement. Today’s event ended after about four hours.
