The Melvin M Swig Interfaith Memorial Labyrinth

The
Melvin M Swig
Interfaith Memorial Labyrinth

The labyrinth is an ancient pattern found in many
different forms in cultures around the world since
ancient times. This particular labyrinth pattern was
created in 1201 for Chartres Cathedral in France. In
Christian tradition, walking the labyrinth represents a
holy pilgrimage, a journey within life's larger spiritual
quest. Labyrinths are also open to anyone to walk
as a non-denominational cross-cultural practice for
well-being. One might walk the labyrinth to quiet the
mind, find balance, encourage meditation and insight,
or for celebration.
