L. Ron Hubbard’s Birthday
L. Ron Hubbard’s Birthday is March 13th. And this is a very important religious holiday for Scientologists. In fact, each year thousands of Scientologists gather in Clearwater, Florida, to celebrate the day. That’s because Clearwater is the spiritual headquarters of the Scientology religion. And the Church produces a very special event there each year.
As soon as the event ends in Clearwater, the Church quickly translates it into 16 languages. Next, Scientology Churches and Mission on six continents receive copies. And these Churches and Missions hold their own event. So Scientologists in every corner of the world take part in the celebration.
Naturally, this is something Scientologists look forward to each year. But because of pandemic restrictions, the Church has not held large gatherings for the past two years. Still, Scientologists anticipate being able to attend these celebrations. And they hope to do so as soon as things fully return to normal.
