Description
The Chapel of the Holy Cross is a Roman Catholic church built into one of the many red rock buttes of Northern Arizona. The chapel was inspired and commissioned by a local rancher and sculptor Marguerite Brunswig Staude. The chapel was built in 1956, with a special-use permit, on Coconino National Forest land. The permit was obtained with the help of the late Senator Barry Goldwater. In 2007, Arizonans voted to list the Chapel as one of the Seven Man-Made Wonders of Arizona. The Chapel of the Holy Cross is in Sedona, Arizona, USA.
