Liverpool Cathedral Labyrinth
Liverpool Cathedral is inviting people to follow a journey around a labyrinth to reflect on the past year and to look towards the future.
The attraction is a modern version of the 12th century ritual featured in medieval cathedrals. Unlike a maze a labyrinth has only one path leading to a central point. The path is followed slowly whilst contemplating life, the planet and God.
The free attraction will be open from 28 December to 2 January 2010.
Canon Richard White, the Cathedral’s Canon for mission and evangelism said, “Our contemporary labyrinth is designed for all ages and reshapes the 12th century ritual for the 21st century with a mixture of music, art, media and activities or rituals along the path. “These will form a journey that looks back on 2009, looks forward to 2010 and helps us to encounter God in the present moment.”
