The Prayer Labyrinth

St. Mark’s Prayer Labyrinth offers space for personal contemplation and group celebration. It is a worship aid for finding quiet time in an intentional way. A walk on the labyrinth's circular path is historically thought of as a journey toward understanding God's presence and activity in our lives. The physical act of walking creates rhythms that encourage the brain to focus, a transition between "doing" and "being."

Our unique path is designed in the Chartres style, with a sheltering palo verde tree in its center. Bricks outline an aggregate path that can accommodate wheelchairs as well as walkers. Six benches surrounding the tree have mosaics that symbolically depict the six days of creation.

(Read more about Tucson labyrinths or view a video of walking the St. Mark's labyrinth, as filmed by the Arizona Daily Star in May, 2007.)
