Opawa Baptist Church, 285 Wilsons Road, Christchurch, New Zealand
This wonderful outdoor labyrinth was created in the carpark of Opawa Baptist Church, December 17th-24th 2001, open 8pm to midnight. Over 900 people visited it. The layout is based on the English version shown in the Labyrinth section of this site - but here realised in straw bales! The content is unique. Called 'A Christmas Journey', it traces the Christmas story through stages called:
- God of the universe
- So many people
- The long journey
- Angels and ordinary people
- At the stable
- Fragrant gifts
- Suffering of the innocents
- Desert experience
- And now...
