Happy 103 Anniversary of the First Flower Ceremony!

Image description below.

The image is framed by white lillies and little yellow flowers with few illustrations of leaves around.

The text reads
The First Flower Ceremony
was held in Prague, Czechoslovakia, on June 4, 1923.

Rev. Norbert Čapek aimed to unite the diverse congregants of his church, including those from various Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish backgrounds, without alienating anyone.

The ritual was designed to celebrate the uniqueness of each individual, from their gardens, the field, or the roadside, and to create a unified community that embraced diversity.

First Parish in Malden UU
will continue this sacred tradition of sharing and celebrating our uniqueness on

Pride is sacred. And in a world that tries do the most to fit you into the status quo, it is an act of resilience to celebrate being different.

When Trans or Nonbinary people make up one-third of your staff and 25% of the Congregation, Pride is a Holy Day.

At First Parish in Malden UU, we believe in striving for authenticity, not perfection. Pride is about living as your authentic self. Pride is sacred here.

Image description below.

The background is all black. In the center is a heart with rainbow colors and a little bit of fade at the edges.

The text at the top reads
Pride is about living your truth unapologetically and freely.
It is embracing your authentic self.

Over the heart is the text
Pride
