Flaming Chalice

The flaming chalice combines two archetypes - a drinking vessel and a flame - and as a religious symbol, has different meanings to different beholders.
It is the most widely used symbol of Unitarianism and the official logo of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) and other Unitarian and UU churches and societies.
The symbol had its origins in a logo designed by Austrian refugee Hans Deutsch for the Unitarian Service Committee (USC) during World War II.
The chalice symbol is often shown surrounded by two linked rings.
Many Unitarian Universalist and Unitarian congregations feature flaming chalice symbolism on their signs, logos, and in their meeting places. Some congregations light a chalice while saying opening words at the beginning of weekly worship services.
