Santa Fe 03

The Miraculous Staircase™ as seen on "Unsolved Mysteries." Loretto Chapel, commissioned in 1872, was well under construction when the builders realized that they'd neglected to include a way up to the choir loft. A conventional stairway would be too large. After nine days of prayer by the Loretto Sisters, a stranger appeared who said he could build a staircase, which he did--using no nails and no other supports beyond the structure of the spiral. The mystery is: was it St. Joseph himself, the carpenter?
