Trinity has a portable Labyrinth which can be used for meditation and prayer. We recently loaned the Labyrinth to Rural Hall Moravian Church for use in their Lenten meditations (see featured picture). The Labyrinth is set up now in the Reich Fellowship Hall and will be open for prayer and meditation from 6:00-7:00 pm each night before our Reading Services.

Here’s a more detailed explanation:
A labyrinth is a single, winding path designed for walking meditation, leading from the outer edge to the center, and back out again, without any dead ends or choices.
- Definition:A labyrinth is a path or structure with a single, continuous path that twists and turns, leading to a central point and then back out.
- Key Difference from a Maze:Unlike a maze, which has multiple paths and dead ends, a labyrinth has only one path to follow.
- Purpose:Labyrinths are often used for walking meditation, prayer, and reflection, serving as a tool for quiet contemplation and self-discovery.
- Historical and Cultural Significance:Labyrinths have a rich history, appearing in various cultures and contexts, including ancient mythology, religious practices, and as a form of art and architecture.
The most famous labyrinth is in Chartres Cathedral in France. Our Labyrinth is based on the Chartres design.
