The Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, standing somewhere around 190 feet tall, can be seen from just about anywhere in Spokane.

Construction began on the historic church in 1925 and the first service was held there in 1929.

The Rev. Elaine Breckenridge will be offering a mini-pilgrimage using the labyrinth at St. John's Cathedral, 127 East 12th Ave, on Aug. 10 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

A pilgrimage, she explained, is a time honored tradition involving dedicated holy walking.
