​Unitarian Universalists focus on the theme of light and that it symbolizes the increasing daylight hours, often celebrated around the time of the winter solstice, representing hope and renewal in the darkest time of year; it is a way for UUs to mark a time of personal and collective inner light, with rituals and readings that reflect the idea of bringing light into the world. 

• Meaning of "Luminescence":
  "Luminescence" refers to the emission of light, and in this context, it signifies the positive potential within each individual and the collective power to illuminate the world with kindness and justice. 
• Focus on Hope and Renewal:
  As the days grow longer after the winter solstice, the celebration highlights the promise of new beginnings and the potential for positive change. 
• Rituals and Activities:
  Congregations may incorporate various elements into their celebrations, including lighting candles, sharing stories of personal inspiration, singing songs about light, and reflecting on the principles of Unitarian Universalism. 
• Not an official UU holiday:
  While not officially recognized by the Unitarian Universalist Association, some UU congregations have adopted the "Celebration of Luminescence" as a meaningful way to mark the turning of the seasons.
