What does the Flaming Chalice symbolize?
Originally designed as a “logo” for a UU organization (USC) helping people escape Nazi persecution, the Flaming Chalice serves as a symbol of the sacredness of light and liberty. On a more symbolic level, the chalice has been identified as representing nurturing, sustenance and generosity. A flame traditionally means knowledge, spirituality, vision and power. The exact meaning of the Flaming Chalice has never been nailed down. Like much in the UU world, it is left up to the individual to take from this symbol whatever is most appropriate for their beliefs.
