The Unificationist Calendar is a
combination of lunar and solar dates. In the listing below, the
solar dates are noted by only designating the year that celebration
came into existence. Those dates celebrated according to the
lunar calendar show the complete lunar date. It is said that in
the Kingdom of Heaven every day will be a celebration and that one day
all will be celebrated according to the solar calendar. The
major holy days are designated in bold.
There are numerous different
"lunar" calendars. Most people are familiar with the
Chinese lunar calendar and other lunar calendars of other
religions. The lunar dates used by the Unificationist calendar
correspond to the Japanese lunar calendar. This differs slightly
from the Chinese calendar--usually by a day or so every so
often.

calendar, click here 
Each nation, state, family or
locality should also add to this calendar any local events to
commemorate--i.e., visits of True Parents, Father's visit establishing
the holy ground, establishment of any local organizations,
anniversaries of any local blessings, birthday celebrations of the
first and current missionaries to their nation, etc.

To
facilitate creating the calendars, I have returned to a full year's
list of dates. This allows me to spend more time on the
important part--gathering information on the dates. Major holy days are noted by
the HSA logo with the text. Links to more information are
standard hypertext links, rather than buttons. Sabbaths are
noted by the spinning FFWPU logos. |

Every
attempt has been made to create an accurate calendar, and
I'd like to keep it that way. If there are discrepancies,
please feel free to contact me. A lot of work and effort
goes into this calendar's creation -- including learning Japanese to be able to
read an accurate lunar-solar calendar source, and gaining
an understanding of the workings of the lunar calendar. If there are any discrepancies
between this calendar and ones issued by the movement in Japan or in
Korea, please let me know. |
