I actually watched this out of interest as I haven't been in actual been in school in a few decades. But I am always happy to learn of new things and this was amazing to learn of. Thank you for your hard work for whatever reason you put this video up.
@@RyanCasey007 thank you for asking. I am 90% there with my housing dilemma and Praise Him and through the prayers of St Joseph it will all be completed.
Thou that not worship false idols. I am a jealous God, I share my glory with no one. No one comes to My Father except through me. Please please discover the truth.
I understood when my wife and I visited the site that the carpenter also used tubs of water. The wood has not been identified. It is a clear case of documented divine assistance.
There was a master builder of staircases around that time. He built a larger spiral staicase with a single piece of mahogony for the bannister in the Earreckson House on Kent Island, MD. It has since been demolished. I dearly hope the bannister was saved.
I went there once to the Chapel to see the staircase, it is really beautiful. I lived in New Mexico for many years and frequently visited Santa Fe. It isn't the same as it was back in the late 1980's and I lost interest in going there. Still a beautiful city though.
As a Security Officer for the inn, one morning at 3:00am the front desk clerk sent me to the chapel on account that people were calling in that a light was on up in the steeple at the top of the staircase. All the lights in the chapel were always off at that time of the night. As I entered the chapel there was a bright light at the top. I climbed the stairs and my steps felt like I was walking on a sheet of paneling. I was a bit afraid as I went up. I just whispered the rosary as I went. At the top of the stairs there was another level if small wooden steps to the steeple. I went up and found two old lamps on timers that were set incorrectly. For the rest of my life I will never forget the mixed emotions that I had that morning. "JESUS I TRUST IN YOU!"
Catholicism is the one and true faith, outside of which, there is absolute no salvation. Reject Vatican council 2 and become a traditional Catholic to save one’s soul. If you want further info please visit Vaticancatholic’s channel here on TH-cam.
@@viensolisNo, Rome is apostate as it teaches a FALSE gospel of works salvation, falsely teaches that Christ’s death doesn’t fully save and it perverts the doctrine of the Trinity by elevating Mary as some sort of fourth person of the Godhead by elevating her above Jesus.
No it was Joseph who built it. Why does Jesus get the credit for it merely for existing. I mean jopseph got his ass up and out of bed traveled all the way across a friggin desert on the back of an ass. Showed up asked them if he could build a staircase, stayed for half a year, made it with magic wood from another realm. Then built an impossible looking staircase without any nails, screws or glue. With a perfect double helix shape perfectly flawless. And does it for free and Jesus gets the credit. What the fudge

@@yungtre6118 Where do you think he got this "miraculous wood" or the "miraculous know how"or the "miraculous ability" to complete these stairs so quickly or where do you suppose the "miraculous money" came from.... All of this came from someone who was and is "MIRACULOUS"
3 times for me and as a retired carpenter it literally blows my mind to think it was built when it was without plans , the mystery of the species of wood , and a long list of other elements I wish I could walk up and down it 😊 oh well in my dreams
Good job young man now do a report on Saint Joseph! It will be well worth your while. Fr. Donald Calloway wrote a good book about Saint Joseph and is promoting him now!
What do you mean advanced architecture for the time period? Our architecture is gettimg worse and less advanced yearly. Most beautiful ancient tartarian buildinds cant be replicated
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. There is a central wooden support of small diameter. We also know the name and origin of the French carpenter. There has been 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 off 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 ‘for profit museum’ so there is an obvious financial incentive to perpetuate a ‘miraculous’ mystery, especially in a religious setting. And lastly, the ‘mysterious carpenter rode in on a donkey you say…. I call 🫏 💩 ! 🙄🤦🏽♂️🤣
I love miracles and I would dearly love that St Joseph actually turned up and constructed this staircase, but sadly it appears that the staircase is not miraculous. Francois Jean or “Frenchy” Rochas as the probable carpenter. The method of construction was known . The wood has not been precisely identified as a sufficiently large sample has not been provided. I doubt the Catholic Church believes it is miraculous or else they would not have sold the chapel. The problem with promulgating this story is that when the evidence for a miracle is debunked, it discredits all miracles and leads people away from the faith. I would love to be wrong as I love St Joseph. I am sure the prayers of the nuns did result in getting the staircase built. The most credible miracles in my humble opinion include the Miracle of the sun at Fatima; the eucharistic miracle at Buenos Aires in 1996 and the Tilma at Guadaoloupe. I suspect that the Shroud of Turin will one day be shown to be the greatest of all miracles.
I have heard about this years ago and recently visited and spent an hour just gazing at it. I did not know about the fire. Another Miraculous fact. Thank you.
You should make TH-cam videos about stuff like this. People like a nonchalant talker that isn't trying to act up the events. You got 100,000 views and it was just for a high school or college assignment. Good potential
I was going to send a cheque for a million dollars to El Paso, Loretto and discovered that my explanatory post on the construction of the staircase had been removed. One should keep an open mind, I will keep tbe Cheque.
I really appreciate your efforts & comments. I would be remiss, though, if I didn't point out your spelling of this site: Laredo is correct in long standing Texas tradition. Of course, I'm open to learning of what might have been before.
Is your point here that it should be "Laredo" and not "Loretto" because something something Texas? Please tell me I'm somehow misinterpreting your point. "Loretto" comes from the name of the chapel, the religious order that built it, and indeed the time-honored history of the term that long predates Texas and the US itself. As the creator said, it has nothing to do with Texas. Are you really so taken with a geopolitical boundary that you think the world must be viewed exclusively through its lens?
In regards to @michaelpatchett136. I misspoke. I should've said Southwestern US instead of Texas. Now @@drstewart I agree with you Loretto would be correct for the era the stairs were made. As in pre US pronunciation / spelling. Thanks!
Am I the only one who finds it difficult to believe such an elaborate chapel with an exquisite choir loft was meticulously designed and built to completion with absolutely no consideration as to how this loft would be accessed ??
“Gets 1,000 visitors a day”… shocker… I’m sure 100% of this story is true. There is no financial benefit to having 1,000 people visit per day at $5 each. 😂
I enjoyed visiting the Loretto chapel and the staircase. It is an amazing feat of architecture. There are some people out there who refute the story about it, there’s a video on TH-cam I think you’ll just have to find it yourself regardless of anything it’s some thing that everyone should see, and don’t forget to bring your family!

i climbed the stairs and felt like I could turn water into wine!
The staircase is awesome. There are two unsupported spiral staircases in the LDS Manti Temple. I've seen them...
Thanks for sharing amen and amen

I love this one.
If it was abandoned , Who did they pay for he chapel ?
3 months on the job and no one knew his name ?
No one i know or any tree or rock has a autogragh on who made it whats your stupid point
The right side part of the building in the photo is going to make for a good Minecraft build project
I wish I knew I was getting graded on this 😮😊❤🎉

they just putted concrete inside

All of this came from someone who was and is "MIRACULOUS"
A Novena is NOT a complex prayer.
could you give more information/explanation?
I’ve seen this several times it’s truly amazing. Blessings to the Church. Blessings be.

There was no glue used in the construction only wooden pegs..

A Heavenly built staircase.
We alwways forget, Jesus is a carpenter by trade 😂
This is so beautiful, I can’t wait to visit!
Why did the nuns abandoned it????
God does lots of miracles…what’s not to believe?
A beautiful, peaceful setting. Incredibly constructed. There ARE saints...Blessing
Jesus Christ is our living God ❤
I am a staircase builder. That looks amazing. I admired the construction
How did the builder drill for the pegs with out a drill????
Chisel. They don’t have drills. It’s all a mystery. Divine intervention
I was there in 2008. Impressively. Believe God was behind these stairs.
I SAW IT AND IT'S AMAZING. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
I have heard about this years ago and recently visited and spent an hour just gazing at it. I did not know about the fire. Another Miraculous fact. Thank you.
👍God bless!
I have always wondered how brick or stone buildings "Catch on fire".
Amen🙏

You don’t perform a novena, you speak it to God and St Joseph or whomever is the saint.
The nuns performed the novena for help and St Joseph showed up. Who else would leave taking no payment for such work.
I took my family to see it, I leaned over and touched it! Truly the closet I've ever been to the divine :)
Go to Mass. Jesus Christ is truly alive in the Eucharist.
Abandoned? Why?
I think they just moved, but I would have to look it up.
I watched because I wanted to. I have never seen this in person. It is absolutely beautiful. I believe it is a miracle.
fake , dysfunctional , no ware , nobody uses it, and they will not show it, all shots are from 15 ft away....show me the top of it................
I was going to send a cheque for a million dollars to El Paso, Loretto and discovered that my explanatory post on the construction of the staircase had been removed.
One should keep an open mind, I will keep tbe Cheque.
Fracois “Frenchy” Rocus built it. Not that mysterious.
If the nuns prayed for a miracle, then eceived a miracle, why would they then think it would collapse and need supporting.
St. Joseph please pray for me as I dealing with my financial problem
I bet the museum doesn’t let anyone take the stairs today. If I ever make it there, I will climb those stairs.
Well informative and awesome!
For those who say its
not a miracle
Lets see you make one or a grain of sand
Or the juan diego miracle
I love the fire effect you added there. Overall great info!
I would removed the handrail in the spindles.
Wtf is that noise with your mouth id say dont quit tour day job
This was a good video! You have a good voice!
Why was the church abandoned by the nuns?
coincidense that Loretto stairs in New Mexico and House of Loretto in Italy..(the holy family house) share the same name..
Good stuff but the Species of the wood was Israel where Joseph was from, not Alaska
Nice
Nice job on this video report..ty!
are you allowed to climb the staircase?
Spiral staircase - DNA helix
St Joseph was the mystery carpenter

Do the people even use the stairs ?
almost
Almost looks like DNA
Am I the only one who finds it difficult to believe such an elaborate chapel with an exquisite choir loft was meticulously designed and built to completion with absolutely no consideration as to how this loft would be accessed ??
The designer of the chapel had his own different plans but died before getting to the staircase.
During construction the first builder left
The loft was accessed by a simple ladder.
The wood came from heaven
🙏🙏🙏
🌹🌹🌹
There's only a handful of men today that could build a set of replica staircase like this.....honestly it's unheard of
aye, is true.
built a floating staircase last year.
lots and lots of laminating.
Wow....
They tried to improve on it and only damaged it because it was designed to be like a spring...
Amazing.

Lovely
No picture of the original staircase without the railings?
You blind ? Or busy printing before 🎥 was finished

Visiting this site is well worth your time. Many interesting things to be observed are contained within this building.
Amen
As I remember the story there was not enough of the lumber to add rails or supports in any way nor money to buy more.
AWESOME VIDEO!!! simply fantastic!
Engineers don't explain how it works, yet there are models of it?
By the way, what is your opinion about the real builders of the Egyptian Pyramids?
Who cares they did from the end of a whip
And it wasnt done in GODS name
Great video best part is last 30 seconds
