Speaker: Janice Holz

Annual Flower Communion

Originally created in 1923 by Unitarian minister Norbert Capek of Prague, Czechoslovakia, the Flower Communion is an annual ritual that celebrates beauty, human uniqueness, diversity, and community. In this ceremony, everyone in the congregation brings (or is given) a flower. Each person places a flower on the altar or in a shared vase. The congregation blesses the flowers, and they’re redistributed so that each person brings home a different flower than the one they brought. Click on the link for the full text of the service.

Looking for Rainbows

Each rainbow is unique based on the perspective it is viewed from. A covenant is a promise, often sealed with a symbol, tradition, or practice. The rituals can be powerfully indicative of a society’s and an individual’s relationship with faith. Click on the link for the text of Jayne Jacobs’ presentation.
