Hi Chris, I have seen your National Cathedral images and like them. I thought you might be interested in this image of a real labyrinth in what is, to this point, my favorite religious space, Notre-Dame de Amiens.
This really marvelous structure was one of the churches on the pilgrimage route through France to Santiago de Compostela. The pilgrims made their way through the labyrinth on hands and knees, praying as the went. It took hours, perhaps even days. The attractions were the relics these churches held -- Amiens' is the head of St. John the Baptist, although there is always some doubt about the authenticity of many of the relics. There is also a labyrinth in Notre-Dame de Chartres, that is original. This one is a replacement, but follows the original design. Chartres' is original, I believe, as you can see the wear on the stones.

Best,
Mary Lou

Thanks, Mary! Our canvas labyrinths are modeled after the stone one at Chartres. I've not yet visited a European cathedral that has a stone one (most of my cathedral visits have been English.) Someday I'll get to all those French beauties! #10955843
