About the Symbols

About the Symbols

Unitarian Universalism draws on the wisdom of all the world's traditions — religious, philosophic, scientific, artistic, and everyday — to help bring spiritual wellbeing to all. Our most common Unitarian Universalist symbol is a cup with a rising flame within a double circle. For some, the symbol is the chalice of compassion feeding the light of truth and liberation to the world. For some, it is the lamp of life's energy fueling discovery, goodness and peace for all. We circle our flame with the worlds wisdom traditions to symbolize how it is fed by each of them.
