Happy 34th anniversary to all the participants of the 72 Couples Holy Blessing, and the 1,275 Couples Holy Blessing!

On Jan. 11, 1989, True Parents officiated the Marriage Blessing of 72 Unificationist-born couples at the Little Angels Performing Arts Center in Seoul. True Father said, in addition to the Blessing of 36 Unificationist-born couples three years earlier, the victory of the 72 couples Blessing could be likened to the complete restoration of the 12 apostles and 72 disciples at the time of Jesus.
