Description
The Loretto Chapel Magnificent Staircase
When the Loretto Chapel was completed in 1878, there was no way to access the choir loft twenty-two feet above.
Legend says that to find a solution to the seating problem, the Sisters of the Chapel made a novena to St. Joseph, the patron saint of carpenters. On the ninth and final day of prayer, a man appeared at the Chapel with a donkey and a toolbox looking for work. Months later, the elegant circular staircase was completed, and the carpenter disappeared without pay or thanks.
