1) Significance of the lighting of the Cheonbok Lantern The ideal and desire for a Second Coming (of the founder of a religion) is manifested in all religions. This desire plus the diversity of culture that we see today serve as the basis for people to receive and welcome the Lord at his Second Advent, the True Parents. The Cheonbok Lantern reflects a variety of such religious rituals, and encapsulates the wish for unity and peace and for all humankind to receive and welcome the True Parents on the occasion of True Parents’ Birthday.
