Parhelia
Symbol of universal hope
"Universal HOPE's goal is to improve the world.
An easily recognizable symbol of this movement is the adaptation of an atmospheric phenomenon called Parahelia (or sundogs) caused by small ice crystals, usually found in the upper atmosphere, mountains, or at high latitudes.
​
Rarely, under just the right conditions, parahelia becomes a brilliant unfolding flower of reflections giving all who observe it cause to reflect upon the miracle of creation.
​
However, numerous times a year a high haze in the sky will hint or show the basic sundogs to remind us of the wonders that are all around us.
​
As such, parahelia is a proper symbol of Universal HOPE's core beliefs of Truth, Life, Purpose and Hope."
