A labyrinth is a path-way that is usually circular in shape that leads to the center. It is NOT a maze designed to confuse or frustrate. It is a well-defined path that leads into the center and back out again. The intent of the labyrinth is not to engage the thinking mind but rather the intuitive mind.
Labyrinths go back further in time than anyone can trace.
There have been various labyrinth patterns formed by people of many traditions throughout the world. Perhaps the most famous labyrinth is the 11 circuit design laid into the floor of the medieval cathedral at Chartres, France. St. Christopher's Labyrinth is a 7 circuit design, sometimes called a Cretan or Hebrew Labyrinth. Our labyrinth is, at present, simply cut into the grass on the lawn to the north of the church building . Plans for a small berm and plantings are being made, along with fund raising to help with the improvements.
