Journey to the Holy Land: June 2008

The Meaning of the Journey

I am intrigued by the Labyrinth. The history, the culture, the tradition involved. Not just the Christian Labyrinth, but the Pagan Labyrinth as well. The Pagan Labyrinth was designed as a maze used to trap demons, but the Christians are so good at taking Pagan ideas and making them Christian - you know, like Winter Solstice being changed to Christmas and then claiming that Jesus is the reason for the season. Anyway, the Christian Labyrinth was adopted as an alternative to the tradition in which the Jewish men traveled to the holy land upon maturing to adulthood. The labyrinth- a walk, a maze that goes inward, then back outward - represents the struggle, the back and forth and the dead ends we hit in life all the while journeying towards - and being in relationship with - God.
