The labyrinth at St. Francis Springs Prayer Center is a unique and meaningful experience for our guests. Modeled after the one in Chartres Cathedral in France, this beautifully crafted labyrinth offers a space for guests to experience the sacred contemplative practice of walking a labyrinth. 

The labyrinth is approximately 42 feet in diameter, with 34 turns, and a length of approximately 815 feet. The 12 small rocks inlaid in its circular wall symbolize the 12 tribes of Israel and the 12 apostles, while the three stones supporting the center bench represent the Trinity.

The labyrinth is a form of prayer and contemplation that can guide you in your spiritual journey and help you find inner peace. Its circular shape symbolizes unity and wholeness and reminds us that authentic unity and wholeness can only be achieved through holiness.

If you are curious to learn more about labyrinths, we have a variety of books for sale in our bookstore that can help deepen your understanding and further guide you through this contemplative practice.

Bricks that surround the labyrinth can be purchased in honor or memory of your loved one.
