Flaming Chalice
The chalice is our Unitarian Universalist symbol. We have a chalice in our sanctuary. When we meet as a group we often light a chalice. Many Unitarian Universalists wear chalice jewelry. Our children receive a chalice pin after their Age of Reason rite of passage, a chalice pendant after their Coming of Age rite of passage, and a chalice to take with them as they Bridge from being a Youth to a Young Adult.
Many Unitarian Universalists also have a chalice at home which they light. Here are some chalice lighting words you can use at home when lighting a chalice. Below is a chalice Ritual you can do as a family.
