Description
The Chapel of the Holy Cross is a Roman Catholic chapel built into the red-rock buttes of Sedona, Arizona. It was commissioned by sculptor Marguerite Brunswig Staude, who is said to have drawn her inspiration in 1932 from the newly constructed Empire State Building, on which a cross seemed to her to be superimposed.
The Chapel was completed in 1956 at a construction cost of $300,000. In 2007, Arizonans voted the Chapel to be one of the Seven Man-Made Wonders of Arizona. It is also said to be the site of one of the so-called Sedona vortices, where some believe that heightened spiritual and metaphysical energy can be found.
