• During the 'Special Workshop for the New Beginning of Cheon Il Guk Blessed Wives', from November 2006 to February 25, 2007, all Ancestor Liberation Ceremonies will be 'Additional' Ancestor Liberation Ceremonies. You can liberate generations 1 - 133 at any workshops.

2. Ancestor Blessing Ceremony (Generations 1 -126) Schedule Information

Ancestor Blessing Ceremonies for generations 1 - 126 have started in October 2006 and will be held once a month for a 5-month period through February 2007. Generations 1 - 126 are eligible to receive the blessing after 100 days have passed from the day they were liberated and the full liberation donations were offered. They can be blessed when their descendants attend an Ancestor Blessing Ceremony, held on the third weekend of every month. (Schedule is subject to change)

 Starting from July 2002, ancestors who have become Absolute Good Spirits through the blessing come to separate spirits from their descendants during the holy song session of the Ancestor Liberation Ceremonies. (Angels work with members who have not blessed their ancestors.)

*The donation amounts for blessing ancestors are set according to national group (as of August 2003). The blessing donation for generations 1~7 is offered once for the F and includes all four lineages (F, M, GMF, and GMM). However, if blessing the four lineages at separate times, a blessing donation of gratitude (same amount offered for generations 8 and above) is made each time you register. It is possible to offer the blessing donation in parts and to begin blessing generations 8 and above before it is completed.

*The blessing donation of gratitude for generations 8 and above is offered per group of 7 generations. It includes all four lineages (F, M, GMF, and GMM) if blessing them all at once. However, if blessing the four lineages in a particular generation group at separate times, the donation is made again each time you register.
