IllUUmination is a Unitarian Universalist (UU) holiday instituted by the Unitarian Universalist Church of Little Rock. Celebrated during the winter season, this observance places a distinctively UU festival on the calendar during a time of the year when many great religious traditions mark the change of seasons.

Since 1994 the UU Church of Little Rock has celebrated IllUUmination, a holiday conceived within one of their member families in response to their children's desire to celebrate not only the special days of other faiths, but a special day of their own. The church has developed a weekend of programming including an IllUUmination Feast, songs, and a Sunday service for all ages.

The celebration has received an enthusiastic response, and is now celebrated in a number of UU congregations.

  • When we take fire from our chalice, it does not become less. It becomes more. And so we extinguish our chalice, but we take its light and warmth with us, multiplying their power by all of our lives, and sharing it with the world.
