A flame within a chalice (a cup with a stem and foot) is a primary symbol of the Unitarian Universalist faith tradition. Many of our congregations kindle a flaming chalice in gatherings and worships and feature the chalice symbol prominently. UU’s may also wear clothing and jewlery with a chalice symbol and some have a chalice at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hans Deutsch, an Austrian artist, first brought together the chalice and the flame as a Unitarian symbol during his work with the Unitarian Service Committee (USC) during World War II. To Deutsch, the image had connotations of sacrifice and love.<\/p>\n<\/div>

To Unitarian Universalists today the flaming chalice is a symbol of hope, the sacred, the quest for truth, the warmth of community, the light of reason, and more. A special chalice is used at each General Assembly of the Unitarian Universalist Association.  In 2011, before GA in Charlotte, NC, the chalice visited our Fellowship in Franklin, NC for a special service about GA.<\/p>\n

We light a flaming chalice in worship to create a reverent space for reflection, prayer, meditation, and singing.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
