The Miraculous Stairs

The MIRACULOUS STAIRS in Santa Fe New Mexico USA.

 

The stairs have a very interesting story that I recommend reading on-line.

 

The stairs were made without nails, screws, or glue. Their is no center post and it is free standing with wood that is not indigenous in the USA.

 

It was made by a carpenter who no one knows, knocked at the door of the chapel asking if they wanted stairs to be built so that they can get to the loft after the nuns had a novena to St. Joseph asking for the stairs. The carpenter left without asking or receiving anything for his labor when the stairs was completed.

 

The stairs was initially built without railings. The railings were added a few years after.

 

The stairs was used by the choir for 100 years.
