CHAPEL OF THE HOLY CROSS

The Chapel of the Holy Cross is an iconic Catholic chapel built into the mesas of Sedona, Arizona, which was inspired and commissioned by sculptor Marguerite Brunswig Staude, student of Frank Lloyd Wright.  The chapel is built on Coconino National Forest land; the late Senator Barry Goldwater assisted Staude in obtaining a Special Use permit. The original cost was US$300,000. The chapel was completed in 1956.


The Chapel built out of the red rocks
Inside the Chapel, most spiritual
Don't step of the red rocks!
Cactus on the way
The mansion as discussed below!
Then, there's the house, the mansion on the road leading to the church.  9,000 sq. ft. main house with streams,  ponds in the house and servant quarters separate.  House was built by a Romanian inventor of the laser for Lasik eye surgery and finally completed.  It is the biggest and most over the top home.  No, not Nick Cage's house or Johnny Depp's.  See photo!  Enjoy the church, which is also at a vortex.
