The beloved Unitarian Universalist tradition of Flower Communion Service originated by the Rev. Norbert F. Čapek in his native Czechoslovakia in 1923 is widely celebrated by congregations in springtime. The UU Fellowship devotes one Sunday to this festive participatory service which holds special meaning in the history of our faith as celebrates both the earth’s beauty and humanity’s oneness.
The service reminds us that the Flower Communion is more than a simple exchange of blooms. It symbolizes our commitment to creating a spiritual home where all are free to follow their own path of truth and meaning, where differences are celebrated, and where love guides us in building a more just world.
As we take home a flower different from the one we brought, we carry with us the spirit of community and the knowledge that we are all connected in the great web of life.
