Happy Sunday!
If you ever get to Santa Fe, NM, you need to see this mind boggling staircase built by a mysterious man who simply disappeared after finishing his work in the 1870s. He used no formal tools or even nails. The timber was not native to the area. And he took no money.
The nuns of this Catholic church wanted to use an upper area of the Loretto Chapel for a school and had no way to access it. They prayed for help from St. Joseph, the patron saint of carpenters. This mystery man showed up and made it happen.
Modern architectual theory says it's not so miraculous, but this was built in the 1870s. Could it have been St. Joseph? Hmmmmmm.... I like to think so!
