Theis online presentation sponsered by the American Friends of Chartres is free, but you need to get a ticket via Eventbrite to attend.
The labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral, the largest “decorative” feature in the building, was installed in the floor of the nave in the early thirteenth century. But what was its origin? Why was it chosen for this iconic Gothic cathedral? How does it relate to the broader architecture and spiritual symbolism of the cathedral? In this presentation, we will delve into the historical, architectural, and theological contexts of the Chartres Labyrinth, exploring its significance within the cathedral’s design and its broader cultural and spiritual meanings. Whether you are a scholar, a labyrinth enthusiast, or simply curious about this remarkable feature, this talk will offer insights that deepen your understanding of this world-renowned masterpiece. There will be ample time for questions and comments.
