The earliest known labyrinths date back over 4000 years. Throughout history, labyrinths have served diverse symbolic purposes, from representing spiritual journeys and pilgrimage paths in Christianity, to symbolizing the complexity of life and death in various cultures. Unlike mazes designed to confuse, traditional labyrinths typically have a single path leading to the center.

Walking a labyrinth is a beautiful spiritual practice that provides a space for clearing our mind, opening our heart, and returning to the world more centered, peaceful, and prepared to live within the chaos. There are many styles of labyrinth, but here at St. Luke’s we have an outdoor setting, nestled under the trees, which offers an extension of the meditation by making a very real connection between God and nature.

The St. Luke’s labyrinth was completed in 2013 by a parishioner, as an Eagle Scout project.
It is a 5-circuit, medieval style and located in the playground area beside the Gray Building.
Open M-F 1:00 p.m. to dusk and weekends from dawn to dusk.
All are welcome to walk, and much like a sacrament, experience an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace.
