nb - the answer is yes, according to my dictionary
2 Richard 10.13.05 at 4:34 pm: As ever, context is everything, Malc. In the context of Christian spirituality, the word is used to describe this kind of unicursal (which means you can never get lost!) pathway. They were used in the Middle Ages (the elaborate labyrinth of Chartres Cathedral is well known) and there has been a resurgence of interest in recent years.
This is a small “3 path” design, laid out in the church hall for use tonight in the “Pray Without Ceasing” gathering. I’m bound to say I’m very pleased with the way it has turned out.

What is in the middle?
