Walking the Labyrinth

On Maundy Thursday, March 28, from 10 am to 4 pm there will be a labyrinth available in Butler Hall.  This is yet another tool that can be used for a Holy Lent. Archeological findings date labyrinths to the Bronze Age, about 4000 years ago. Greek & Roman Mythology suggest the labyrinth to function as Both a place of rebirth and protection. In the Middle Ages labyrinths began showing up in churches across Europe. They functioned as a symbolic substitute for making a physical pilgrimage to the Holy Land;  a traditional journey for achieving spiritual and psychological renewal.  The most famous labyrinth was inlaid into the floor of Chartres Cathedral in France in 1201 A.D. Enter Butler Hall in silence. There will be materials to explain how to walk your journey and what to do at “The Center” as well as how you walk back to the beginning of the labyrinth. Then enjoy some time for processing your journey.
