LABYRINTH WALK SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31, 6 P.M. to MIDNIGHT.

Midnight Eucharist at the center of the labyrinth, observing the Feast of the Holy Name.

Since 1999, Seattle's most peaceful New Year's tradition.

As the old year passes and a new one begins, take time in the quiet, candle-lit space of the cathedral nave to pause, look inward, and experience a large indoor labyrinth laid out in the nave.

Invitations to other contemplative practices will be offered, and musical accompaniment will be provided by guest musicians throughout the evening. Drop by any time between 6 p.m. and midnight; stay for a few minutes or a few hours.

This year, activities especially appropriate for younger children will also be available. Tea and cookies will be served.

At this time masks are recommended inside the cathedral building. However, masks will be required while walking the labyrinth itself, due to the unavoidable close proximity to others that can occur while walking the path.

All are welcome. Suggested donation: $5 or $15/family.

At the stroke of midnight, a special, intimate service of Holy Eucharist is offered in the center of the labyrinth, observing the Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus—a beautiful way to begin 2023. Canon Jennifer King Daugherty will preside.
