Labyrinth
For thousands of years people have constructed labyrinths, or sacred paths, as models of their life journey. The earliest labyrinth was first documented on a clay tablet from Pylos, Greece and dated to circa 1200 B.C.E. . The earliest Christian labyrinth dates back to 4th century, a basilica in Algeria. The construction of the Gothic cathedrals in the middle ages witnessed resurgence of labyrinths, used as models for, and in place of, religious pilgrimage. For many, it served as a symbolic pilgrimage to Jerusalem. The Seven Fountains labyrinth is based on the design of the labyrinth laid into the cathedral floor at Chartres, France, in 1201.
