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.

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.
In 2010 Father
announced changes in the church holy days. I am doing my best to keep up
with them. Please do not confuse the lunar date of True Children and
Grandchildren's Birthdays with the solar dates. The family tree information will give you both
dates. Use the calendar to see which solar date corresponds with the
lunar date.
