The Chalice

The Chalice


The symbol of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is a simple red chalice bearing the Cross of St. Andrew across the left side of the bowl. The chalice points to the centrality of the Lord's Supper in the life and worship of the Disciples who celebrate Communion each Sunday. The Lord's Supper is open to Christians of all persuasions and has been characteristic of the church from its beginning in the early nineteenth century. The Cross of St. Andrew, national cross of Scotland, focuses attention on the Presbyterian roots of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). The color red signifies vitality, spirit and sacrifice.
