What is a Labyrinth?

A labyrinth is a pathway, often used for meditation. There is one way in to the center. Someone following the pathway would walk to the center, pause, and follow the same route back out. This differs from a maze, which could have paths that intersect. The most famous labyrinth is the Chartres labyrinth in France.

The use of labyrinths dates back three to four thousand years, by different cultures around the world.

About the Saint Paul Labyrinth

The labyrinth at Saint Paul follows a meandering path, rather than a roman or classic form. It is about 200 feet long, and is made of limestone.

Our labyrinth is a garden setting, between our sanctuary and fellowship hall buildings. Four benches are placed strategically to allow walkers to pause along the pathway.

This labyrinth is registered with The Labyrinth Society and can be located using their worldwide labyrinth locator.
