    This is a walkable representation of Comenius labyrinth (the first as far as I know), based on the illustration, description and considerations found in his 17th century spirituality book ‘The labyrinth of the world and the paradise of the heart.’ It is a two-arm, three circuit concentric labyrinth, with a spiral in the center ending in a cross inside a heart. A distinguishing feature of the design is the space that precedes the entrance to the labyrinth, called the ‘gate of life.’
