The labyrinth is a circuitous, circular path leading to a center point and them back out again by the same path. A labyrinth is not a maze. A maze is a structure in which you have different options of direction, dead ends, and can get easily lost. Labyrinths come in varying sizes and designs, but they all have one thing in common. A labyrinth has one path in and out. You cannot get lost.
Labyrinths have existed for 1000s of years, although there are few of the ancient ones remaining. The most famous and best preserved of the ancient ones is in the Chartres Cathedral in Chartres, France. The more modern ones can be found in parks, gardens, churches, and people's private property.

There are many reasons to walk the labyrinth - to pray, as a walking meditation, to get questions answered, to quiet the mind. These are just a few. There are as many reasons to walk the labyrinth as there are people. Come experience a labyrinth and see for yourself. 🙂
