52nd Anniversary of 777 Couples Holy Marriage Blessing

Happy 52nd anniversary to all the participants of the 777 Couples Holy Marriage Blessing!

On Oct. 21, 1970, True Parents officiated the international Holy Marriage Blessing of 777 couples. The ceremony was held at Seoul’s Changchung (Metropolitan) Gymnasium before an audience of more than 15,000 people. True Father said the total 790 couples, who came from 10 nations, including Korea, Japan, and countries from the West, were part of the last Marriage Blessing that he would conduct “before globalizing my mission.” 

True Father noted that the 777 Couples was the seventh Blessing following True Parents’ own Holy Wedding, and that this ceremony laid the foundation for the Unification movement to work on the worldwide level. “What belongs to Korea,” he said, “can now belong to the world, and vice-versa. Centered on this time, the fortune of the world can now enter the fortune of unification.”

Congratulations to all the couples celebrating their Blessing anniversary!
