Last month my friends Charlotte and Sherry both turned 70, so we celebrated with a birthday trip to take in part of the Frescoes Trail. At our first stop, St Paul’s Episcopal Church in Wilkesboro, NC, we asked a lady who was walking down the sidewalk if she knew which door at the church we needed to go in. Not only did she know, but she suggested that after we saw the frescoes, to go down the path to the park and visit the labyrinth. I am so, so glad she did. What an unexpected blessing. The history of labyrinths was so interesting, as was the other information, and walking it was so preaceful. We had traveling labyrinths at our church a couple of different times over the years, but this one was just so beautiful.
From there we were off to Glendale Springs and Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, and this incredible frescoe behind the altar there. Really, no picture could do it justice. And there was a recording to listen to that told all about the painting – both the process, and every single figure that was in it. Such a beautiful day.
