A Labyrinth is an intricate pattern, design, symbol or archetype found in many spiritual and community traditions in various cultures around the world. It has a single or unicursal path leading to a center or goal, with the same path in reverse leading you back out. An ambulatory labyrinth is one large enough to accommodate people walking upon this sacred path in meditation. There are no cultural barriers within a Labyrinth. This Labyrinth was made by Pamela Ramadei, Treasurer of the Labyrinth Society, in cooperation with the women of Sacred Space, using 300 pounds of semolina flour. Prayer Vigil participants added feathers as they walked in meditation.

Prehistoric labyrinths are believed to have served either as traps for malevolent spirits or as defined paths for ritual dances. During Medieval times the labyrinth symbolized a hard path to the God with a clearly defined center (God) and one entrance (birth). Labyrinths can be thought of assymbolic forms of pilgrimage; people can walk the path, ascending towards salvation or enlightenment. Many people could not afford to simply travel to holy sites and lands, so the use of labyrinths and prayer substituted that need. Later, the religious significance of labyrinths faded and they were used primarily for entertainment, although recently their spiritual aspect has seen a resurgence. Many newly-made labyrinths exist today, in churches and parks, to provide people with a meditative way to relieve stresses and regrets.
