Religious Education Request - Chalica

CHALICA! is an unofficial holiday in the Unitarian Universalist tradition that celebrates each of the faith's Seven Principles - one a night, for seven nights. The celebration begins on the first Monday of December, and is marked by the lighting of a chalice each day (or evening). Gifts that reflect the particular day's principle may be given, but the focus tends to be more on mindfulness and action.

Monday: We light our chalice for the inherent worth and dignity of every person.
Tuesday: We light our chalice for justice, equity, and compassion in human relations.
Wednesday: We light our chalice for acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations.
Thursday: We light our chalice for a free and responsible search for truth and meaning.
Friday: We light our chalice for the right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large.
Saturday: We light our chalice for the goal of world peace, liberty, and justice for all.
Sunday: We light our chalice for respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.

What are your traditions? How do you make this holiday meaningful for your family? Does the concept of a UU tradition interest you? I would love to know!

Peace and Blessings,
LisaB.
