2. What is the origin of the flaming chalice as a UU symbol of worship?

Answer: It emerged in the 1940s in reaction to the Nazi occupation of Europe.

There is much debate about how the flaming chalice became a common liturgical symbol in UU worship, but it's believed to have only come into widespread usage starting in the mid-1980s.
