Rev. Moon was born in 1920 in Pyeong Bok, Jeong-Ju and established the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity in Korean in 1954. He then sent missionaries to 194 nations, thereby developing it into a worldwide religious order. He contributed to global humanity by devoting his entire life to world peace and religious reconciliation, humanitarian relief work and ending Communism. On September 3, 2012, he passed away (Seonghwa) at the age of 93. 250,000 members came to Korea to pay their respects and mourn at his Seonghwa ceremony, which was held over 13 days.
