On August 13, the Auckland community gathered both in person and online to commemorate the 36th Chil Il Jeol and 30th Chil Pal Jeol Holy Day. The celebration opened with the Cheon Il Guk Anthem, Family Pledge, and a representative prayer by Kenji Watanabe.

The main program featured summaries of two landmark addresses by Father Moon. The 1991 Declaration of God’s Eternal Blessing highlighted the shared purpose of the world’s religions, the restoration of the son’s birthright, and the call to return to one’s home as a tribal messiah. The 1997 Declaration of the Realm of the Cosmic Sabbath focused on the sacred meaning of “True Parents,” the eight levels of the home where God can rest, and salvation through the recreation of humanity in true love. The gathering concluded with breakfast fellowship, with offerings lovingly prepared by Keiko, allowing members to continue sharing together in a warm and grateful atmosphere.
