Hidden on the premises of the Cloister of St. Francis in Alatri and discovered by chance in 1996, the fresco of “Christ in the Labyrinth” represents a unicum of remarkable artistic and spiritual interest. The combination of the figure of Christ “Pantocrator” and the archaic symbol of the labyrinth offers an intriguing key to the Christian faith.<\/p>\n
The labyrinth è unicursal, that is, it has a single entrance way that coincides with the exit. &Eegrave; consists of twelve black circles bordering white corridors, recalling a path of reflection and introspection. In the center of the fresco, the bearded Christ with a halo, wrapped in a golden robe, holds the book of Holy Scripture in his left hand.<\/p>\n
With his right hand, in a blessing act, he indicates the path of entry and exit from the labyrinth, a metaphor for a spiritual journey in which quest and faith are intertwined.<\/p>\n
Visit the Cloister of St. Francis in Alatri and admire the fresco of Christ in the Labyrinth, a journey through art, symbolism and spirituality that will lead you to discover the richness of Lazio’s religious tradition.<\/p>\n
