The ascension flame is an intense fiery white with a crystal glow. The Easter lily is the symbol of the flame and its focus in the nature kingdom, and the white diamond is its focus in the mineral kingdom. The melody of the flame is the “Triumphal March” from ''Aïda'', and the keynote of the retreat is “Liebestraum,” by Franz Liszt.
