    The Armenian Heritage Park on the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway
    will participate Saturday in World Labyrinth Day, an event promoted
    by the Labyrinth Society in an effort to heal the Earth, the Armenian
    Heritage Foundation announced.

    At 1 p.m. in downtown Boston, and upon the same hour in other time
    zones around the world, people will walk labyrinths as a gesture of
    solidarity and peace, the foundation said in a statement.

    Countries expected to participate in the global event include
    Australia, the Bahamas, Canada, China, France, Ireland, Spain, Germany,
    the Netherlands, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. The
    event is held each year on the first Saturday in May.

    The Armenian Heritage Park is a gift from local Armenian Americans
    to the city and the state, the foundation said, and is designed
    to celebrate the experiences of Armenian immigrants and their
    contributions to American society, and also to commemorate those
    killed in the 1915 - 1923 Armenian Genocide and other mass killings.

    Its labyrinth is made up of inlaid stone surrounded by strips of grass
    and symbolizes life's journey, the foundation said. "A single jet of
    water and the symbol of eternity mark its center, representing hope
    and rebirth. Art, Service, Science, and Commerce are etched around its
    circle in tribute to accomplishments and contributions made," it said.

    The labyrinth walk will take place at 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 4. For
