Description 
A labyrinth walk is a symbolic pilgrimage, a cathartic act that leads to salvation, enlightenment or consolation. Beginning on the evening of September 10th and continuing until dawn on September 11th, St. Paul's Chapel will remain open for an All Night Vigil of informal prayer, meditation and labyrinth walks. Vigil keepers and labyrinth facilitators will be in attendance. All are welcome. WHEN: September 10th at 6 PM - September 11th at 5 AM WHERE: St. Paul’s Chapel, Broadway and Fulton Street INFO: For more information call 212.602.0800 or visit http://www.trinitywallstreet.org/911. In the aftermath of 9/11, Trinity Church and St. Paul’s became sanctuaries for those seeking consolation after the destruction of the Twin Towers. Located directly across from the World Trade Center, St. Paul’s Chapel was shielded from falling debris by a sycamore tree, whose roots are immortalized as a ten-foot-tall bronze sculpture in the south yard of Trinity Church. For eight months after the attacks, ’the little chapel that stood’ was home to an extraordinary volunteer relief effort, becoming a place of renewal and inspiration for Ground Zero’s physically and spiritually weary.
