In the twelfth century, when travel to spiritual centers such as Jerusalem became too difficult, cathedrals became substitute centers of pilgrimage for Christians in western Europe. On such pilgrimages, the walking of a labyrinth sometimes became the final stage of the pilgrim's journey. This labyrinth is patterned after one found in the stone floor of Chartres Cathedral, France. It was constructed in 1220, and is a uni-cursal maze with a single path into the center, and the same path leads from that center back into the world. The walk becomes a living metaphor for the spiritual journey which can be shared by all people, and this labyrinth is dedicated in loving memory of Richard E. Zander.
