Labyrinths
In March 2000, a labyrinth was set up in St Paul’s Cathedral, London for one week. Described on the advertising flyer as ‘an interactive
installation for spiritual journeys’, it consisted of a pathway mapped on the ground for the participants to follow. En route there were
various stations at which the participant paused to listen to a track of music and a meditation on a Discman and participate in some
symbolic or ritual action. The labyrinth incorporated a mix of items recognisably within the tradition of Christian worship, things used in
everyday life and current technology. It was designed and constructed by various ‘alternative worship’ groups in London as a special
millennium celebration and outreach event.

Labyrinths
Labyrinths were a feature of many medieval cathedrals.
One of the best remaining examples is found in Chartres Cathedral in Northern France.
Many medieval churches have a labyrinth in the nave floor, signifying pilgrimage towards Jerusalem in this world and the road to Salvation in the next world.
