Notes on "Hoon Dok Hwe with True Parents on True God’s Day", February 3, 2011
**********************************
February 02 2011

Since 1968, Unificationists have celebrated the first day of the year as True God's Day based on the Gregorian Calendar, however, in 2011 for the first time Unificationists around the world will celebrate this Holy Day centered on the lunar calendar, or Cheon-gi, that is, the “heavenly calendar,” which True Parents, Rev. and Mrs. Sun Myung Moon, began observing as the Unification Church’s sacred calendar in January 2010.”

On January 8, 2010, True Father spoke about this
six-day celebration period saying: “This period represents the
six-day period that was required for God’s creation of the
heaven and earth and a period that completes the providence of
re-creation through which the Cain and Abel can be reconciled
centering on the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind, the
king of kings. A new beginning will be made on the seventh day, after
this six-day period.”
According to these instructions, a “True Peace and Unity Cheon-bok Festival" is held as a seven-day celebration period, starting from the first day of the lunar new year, i.e. “True God's day,” until the sixth day of the new year, which is the celebration of True Parents' Birthday.
The lunar New Year is determined by cycles of the moon and therefore the dates are moveable; each New Year commencing on the new moon, which usually occurs in the late January or February of the western Gregorian calendar. More than a quarter of the world’s population celebrates the beginning of the Lunar New Year, also known as the Chinese New Year, which is observed every year on the new moon of the first lunar month, about four to eight weeks before spring. According to the Chinese Lunar Calendar, 2011 is the year of the rabbit, which is said by Chinese zodiacs to symbolize sensitivity, prudence, peace and wealth.
The Gregorian Calendar, used by European countries since 1582, is based on a solar system. Some Unificationists argue that the historical meaning of the solar and lunar calendars may be understood within the context of the polarity of male and female. The Greek Sun god, “Helios,” was masculine. The word, “lunar,” comes from “Luna,” the Latin word for the moon which has always been associated with the feminine principle. Traditionally, “Sun” is masculine and “Moon” is feminine.
True Father writes the motto for 2011 in caligraphy.
