Chapel of the Holy Cross

 

The Chapel of the Holy Cross is a Roman Catholic chapel built into the mesas of Sedona.  The chapel took 18 months to build and was completed in 1956.  The Chapel is one of the main tourist attractions in Sedona and is the site of one of the vorticesfor which Sedona is known.

 

This home below the Chapel was quite a sight.  I couldn't believe how huge this place was.  It certainly was one of the few homes in the desert that had such a huge green lawn.  I wonder who lives here.

 Behind me you can see Courthouse Butte and Bell Rock which we hiked around this morning.  Quite a sight.  Can you imagine the people in the home above waking up to this view every day?  Lucky folks!
