The Armenian Heritage Park on the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway
will participate Saturday in World Labyrinth Day, an event promoted
by the Labyrinth Society in an effort to heal the Earth, the Armenian
Heritage Foundation announced.
At 1 p.m. in downtown Boston, and upon the same hour in other time
zones around the world, people will walk labyrinths as a gesture of
solidarity and peace, the foundation said in a statement.
Countries expected to participate in the global event include
Australia, the Bahamas, Canada, China, France, Ireland, Spain, Germany,
the Netherlands, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. The
event is held each year on the first Saturday in May.
The Armenian Heritage Park is a gift from local Armenian Americans
to the city and the state, the foundation said, and is designed
to celebrate the experiences of Armenian immigrants and their
contributions to American society, and also to commemorate those
killed in the 1915 - 1923 Armenian Genocide and other mass killings.
Its labyrinth is made up of inlaid stone surrounded by strips of grass
and symbolizes life's journey, the foundation said. "A single jet of
water and the symbol of eternity mark its center, representing hope
and rebirth. Art, Service, Science, and Commerce are etched around its
circle in tribute to accomplishments and contributions made," it said.
The labyrinth walk will take place at 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 4. For
