Labyrinth of Chartres

The Labyrinth of Chartres is a large, intricate design embedded into the floor of Chartres Cathedral in France, created during the Middle Ages. It features a complex circular pattern with winding pathways that visitors can walk along. Traditionally, walking the labyrinth symbolized a spiritual journey, representing life's challenges and the path to enlightenment or divine understanding. It was used for meditation, prayer, and reflection, offering a physical experience of spiritual questing in a time when many people couldn't access other forms of religious instruction or pilgrimage.
