Local Church's labyrinth, stations of the cross allow for prayer in the open air


From Michigan-

Sometimes, whispering a prayer on bended knee in a sanctuary or chapel doesn’t cut it.

Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Wyoming offers two open-air sacred places so the public can commune with the almighty immersed in God’s flora and fauna: a labyrinth and Stations of the Cross.

Patterned after the Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres in Chartres, France, Holy Trinity’s labyrinth is defined by borders of grass and wildflowers where deer occasionally can be seen foraging in the morning and a symphony of birds are heard chirping at night.

Fittingly, at the center of the labyrinth is a wooden cross, flanked by three benches for meditation.
