No need to wander around the grounds looking for this labyrinth -- it's painted right on the parking lot! It's the first time we ever drove a labyrinth, LOL!
The labyrinth has kind of a crazy tilt to it because the parking lot slopes downward for drainage purposes. Sometimes I felt a bit tipsy walking part of the perimeter. Whoa!
It was a cool, overcast day when we visited. The air was full of birdsong as we walked the ancient Chartres path, enjoying the lush greenery of rural Maui all around us.
A small donation box is located beside the labyrinth, protected from the elements by a cute shrine-like structure painted in the same colour scheme as the church.
Tomorrow: a tour of the church.

how unusual !,, i`m sure i`ve seen this design as a tattoo,
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I would have fallen flat on my face after a minute of this.
ReplyDeletethats the first for me, never ever saw one like this, i do like the collection box protection though, such a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteI can see where the perimeter dips down! Lovely spot, seeing as it's Hawaii :)
ReplyDeleteWho knew such pretty labs existed.
ReplyDeleteThis is unusual to see this...neat pics also
ReplyDeleteA beautiful location. The tilt of the parking lot does look like it would bother a person. Or maybe make a person think that they were having a divine revelation. Looking forward to tomorrow's post.
ReplyDeleteDebra is there any significance to the design at the centre of a labyrinth? This one looks like a 6leafed clover.
ReplyDeleteHi Francie -- The centre of a Chartres Labyrinth represents a rose, which is the symbol of the Virgin Mary to whom all Chartres labyrinths are dedicated.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I like the idea of that. Place them you can fit them:)
ReplyDeleteA lovely labyrinth. I want a small one in my backyard. I really enjoy walking them.
ReplyDeleteAwesome...stopping in to say a long overdue hello and give you a hug.
ReplyDeleteVery cool labyrinth. I really like that center area. Looking forward to tomorrow's tour of the church.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Wonder if the churches here would go for it?
ReplyDeleteYeah,labyrinths!!! Could you imagine drving one, that would be a hoot. And I just heard yesterday, a park near here is thinking of making a labyrinth with tall bushes, think the Shinning. If they do I'll have to get pics for you!
ReplyDeleteRolls eyes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing...I just love your labyrinth posts!!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
~i am starting to wonder...just how many labyrinths have you wandered...i am in awe of your travels!!! i guess they must have been trying to utilize space...perserve their greens possibly...thank you for sharing this little treasure with us...much love light and blessings~
ReplyDeleteI am driven to have a maze in West.
ReplyDeleteOk, I just have to ask - any explosive sermons in that church? (Sorry, had to.)
