Dr Norbert Čapek founded the Unitarian church in Czechoslovakia and created the flower celebration service in 1923. Dr Čapek was born in 1870 and was murdered in 1942. The impetus for writing the flower communion came from his feeling that his church needed a symbolic ritual that would bind his congregants more closely together. Come and join us in this beautiful service.
