Title: Secret Staircase


1
City of Santa Fé, in New Mexico, USA.A mystery
of over 130 years and attracting around 250
thousand visitors every year. Point of attention
Loretto Chapel
2
What makes this chapel different from all others
is that the subject of the supposed miracle that
took place in it is a Staircase
3
A chapel was constructed in 1898. When it was
ready, the nuns found that there was no staircase
built to take them to the choir loft 22 feet
above.
4
Capenters called in for advice said there was no
way to build a staircase in the small place. The
nuns spent 9 days praying to St. Joseph, who was
a carpenter, for a solution.
5
On the 9th day of the novena, a stranger knocked
at their door and said that he was a carpenter
who could help them build the staircase.
6
He constructed the staircase, all by himself,
which was considered to be the pride of
carpentery.
7
None knew how the staircase could stand by itself
as it had two 360 degree turns and did not have a
central support
8
Then the carpenter, who did not use a single nail
or glue to construct this staircase, disappeared
without even waiting for his payment.
9
There was a rumour in the city of Santa Fé, that
the carpenter was St. Joseph himself ...
10
...sent by Jesus Christ to attend to the nuns
problem. Since then, the staircase was known to
be called miraculous and turned out to be the
site for pilgrimage.
11
There are 3 mysteries in this case, says the
spokesman of the chapel the 1st mystery is
that, until today, the identity of this man is
not known.
12
The second mystery all the architects,
engineers and scientists say that they cannot
understand how this staircase can balance without
any central support.
13
And the 3rd mystery from where did the wood
come? They have checked and found out that the
type of wood used to build the staircase does not
exist in the entire region
14
There is another detail that has just increased
the belief in the supposed miracle The
staircase has 33 steps, the age of Jesus Christ.
