God works through people. The arrival of any carpenter to build any staircase in and of itself answered the novena. Sometimes God sends more than requested, especially for when it is for His glory.
@@AidanParish-ev7lf In the early 2000s, amateur historian Mary Jean Cook theorized the probable builder of the staircase as François-Jean "Frank" or "Frenchy" Rochas (1843-1894), a reclusive rancher and occasional carpenter who came to New Mexico from France around the 1870s. It’s more a theory than an empirical fact. So, if true, still miraculous? I believe so. It’s the totality of the circumstances and of course, the timing and symbolism. None of this had to happen, but it did. The mysterious nature of this story is accentuated by several points that could have simple explanations standing alone, but it’s the fullness of the staircase construction story from beginning to end that onlookers marvel at. ❤️🩹👍
@@AidanParish-ev7lfyes. I want to know their exact names and see pictures of the drawings. And both are required,not just 1 or the other. I've never seen anyone claim this before because if they did you would see many responses in the multitude of videos on this event. But you don't,so how come? Like the kids say,pics(drawings) or it didn't happen.
There are other examples of similar stairs, including some built by the same guy, Francois Jean Rochas, or by others. Wikipedia shows an even grander staircase, taller, also without nails or a center support, the Gdarisk Town Hall staircase in Poland - built around the 15th century. Rochas's obituary even claimed credit for the staircase.
Whats crazier is the nuns went to the lumberyard to see about paying for the lumber/wood used and they said no one had purchased any wood for a staircase.
Governments have been dumbing people down for decades now. They don’t teach Carpentry in school anymore (among other life skills they eliminated) Also the work that is provided has become much easier during this time.
Why would the carpenter want to make his job so much more difficult by choosing not to use the centre column with attached threads ? It would have maybe even taken a little less space in the chapel. Finding the reason, will solve some of the mystery about it. The centre column would not need to be made from a single tree trunk, so the lack of big enough tree could be excluded already. 😊
Is there proof that they cannot match the wood to any other on earth? Because I find that very hard to believe. There's no denying this though, that staircase is a work of genius and art.
As a matter of fact, the church employs non Catholic and non religious experts to investigate these types of things. It prevents bias. It’s also not impossible to believe there are things we have yet to discover.
@@thugline6801 Thank you for what? Throwing some random bullshit out there without any factual reference? Thanks for letting everyone know you’re ignorant and your word is trash.
The Loretto Chapel staircase is a remarkable architectural feat, but not a mystery. It is a double helix spiral staircase that was built by a carpenter named Francois Jean Rochas in the late 1870s. He used wood pegs and an inner stringer to support the structure, which has no central pole or newel. The wood he used was a type of spruce, which he probably obtained from a nearby source. The staircase was designed to fit the small space of the chapel and to access the choir loft. The legend that the staircase was built by St. Joseph or a mysterious stranger is not true, but rather a result of the lack of documentation and the admiration of the sisters of Loretto who commissioned the chapel. Some additional sentences are: • The staircase has 33 steps, which some people believe is a symbolic reference to the age of Christ at his death. However, this is likely a coincidence, as the number of steps was determined by the height of the loft and the angle of the staircase. • The staircase is still standing today and is open to the public as part of the Loretto Chapel museum and wedding venue. It is considered a masterpiece of craftsmanship and a beautiful example of Gothic Revival style. • The staircase has been featured in several books, documentaries, and movies, such as the 1998 film "The Staircase," starring Barbara Hershey and William Petersen. It has also attracted the interest of engineers, historians, and tourists who marvel at its design and construction.
This is a half truth, they believe they know the real story. The man that built it was a French immigrant, the wood is one species of spruce and a priest paid for it in France and had it shipped to the church. There is a TH-cam video that explains this.
Funny how people used to build things without all the useless chemicals we use today. People were much smarter in the past then us or we give credit to
Nothing short of a miracle and GODS glory that anything is possible through him. Matthew 6:33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
There is no mystery here, and definitely no miracle ! It was built by an expert carpenter, yes. But it was unstable and unsafe from the get go as it had a steep incline, so much so that the nuns had to crawl down to prevent falling. And an iron railing had to be added years later to prevent accidents. In fact it hasn’t been used as a staircase for decades to prevent structural collapse. The staircase does have a central wooden support, an inner wooden stringer of small diameter which functions as a solid pole. We also know the name and origin of the french carpenter who definitely had an entire and comprehensive set of tools, which has also been documented. There was payment made for services rendered as there were receipts found and we even know where he is buried. Spruce is the wood that is was made of, which is hardly uncommon in the Americas. Samples of the wood are not allowed to be taken for scientific examination, so it’s impossible to determine the exact species of spruce used. Wooden pegs were the norm at the time since iron nails were expensive and difficult to come by. The church is a privately owned ‘for profit museum’ so there is an obvious financial incentive and motive to perpetuate a ‘miraculous’ mystery, especially in a religious setting. And lastly, the ‘mysterious carpenter’ rode in on a donkey you say, well he definitely made asses of a lot of believers ! 🙄🤦🏽♂️🤣
The man was eventually identified, as was the wood, but the miracle still occurred that their prayers were answered right on time, and the stairs were paid for by the builders organization. Channels like this give me trust issues.
For people that dont now carpentry practice colled SASCHINOMO METHOD feel and believe this staircase is a miracle. Sashinomo wood working methods is used by the carpenter to build this stair.

That's the thing. The local lumber yard didn't give any or have any orders and there was no outstanding debt at the end. The nuns went to square up with them because they figured there would be a debt. They knew nothing about it. When tested it showed to be a cousin of an Alaskan tree. But not one that we know of.
Looks like DNA chain
Also know as the Golden Spiral.
Good observation
The Golden Ratio
33 steps as well. 33 years Jesus was alive and we have 33 vertebrae in our spinal column
It honestly looks like it’s carved directly from a tree trunk. Like he carved it in one piece not in sections. Amazing
it wouldn't be strong enough regardless.
I was in that church in Santa Fe New Mexico, that is amazing piece of art.
I went there when I visited New Mexico
Wow
No nails no glue no help this old man was sent by god

it was jesus, he’s a carpenter

It was after the 9th day Novena to St. Joseph
It has a glue and a wooden nails
