Flower Communion

June Theme: Blessings

Flower Communion

Flower Communion is an annual UU ritual that celebrates beauty, human uniqueness, diversity, and community.

Originally created in 1923 by Unitarian minister Norbert Capek of Prague, Czechoslovakia, the Flower Ceremony was introduced to the United States by Rev. Maya Capek, Norbert’s widow.

In this ceremony, everyone in the congregation brings 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 each person brings home a different flower than the one they brought.

We will join together to celebrate beauty, human uniqueness, diversity, and community.
