A Christian writer describes the spiritual significance of the labyrinth in this way:
"The labyrinth is a universal symbol for the world, with its complications and difficulties, which we experience on our journey through life. The entry to the labyrinth is birth; the center is death and eternal life. In Christian terms, the thread that leads us through life is divine grace. Like any pilgrimage, the labyrinth represents the inner pilgrimage we are called to make to take us to the center of our being. In some Christian circles today the labyrinth continues to be used as an instrument to facilitate meditation, prayer, personal reflection, and spiritual growth."
Walking the path is a prayerful way to invite the presence of God into an active conversation with the heart and soul.
