36 2nd Generation Couples Blessing Celebrates 37th Anniversary

Happy 37th anniversary to the participants of the 36 Couples Holy Marriage Blessing! True Parents officiated the ceremony for 36 Unificationist-born young adults on April 12, 1986, at the Little Angels Performing Arts Center in Seoul, Korea — marking “a new era for the Unification movement,” True Father said.

This was the first Marriage Blessing of young Unificationists apart from the Marriage Blessings of four of True Parents’ own children. Days before on April 8, True Father brought together candidates in Korea to begin the matching engagement, which continued the following day. Those participating were the sons and daughters of Unificationists who had participated in the 36, 72, and 124 Couple Blessings, and candidates outside of Korea were all matched by photograph. 

True Father described the occasion as an “amazing providential event” in his message to the newly engaged couples. He encouraged them to renew the tradition of the Unification family by being “standard-bearers for the sake of all the people of the world.” He also advised the couples to find the “abandoned path” that most people of the world would consider worthless. “That is the path God is asking you to walk,” True Father said.

Congratulations to all 36 couples celebrating their anniversary!
