The Church of Scientology recognizes March 13, the birthday of founder L. Ron Hubbard, as a religious holiday. The religious symbol for Scientology is a cross with 8 points. The points represent the 8 Dynamics (or 8 parts) of life through which each person struggles. The 8 Dynamics are a basic principle in Scientology theology. Per the request of the founder, on this day, members of the church honor him by conducting community service.
