The type of wood used for the stairs isnt found in the region anywhere. Scientificly the stairs shouldve crashed to the ground. I do see a resemblance between the stairs and the shroud of Turin. Both baffle the scientific community as to how they were made. And they both have links to Jesus. What I find odd is why the carpenter wanted to be left alone.
I grew up hearing about this legend! Santa Fe is definitely on my list of must visits now.
The Loretto Chapel is a beautiful sight.
I absolutely fell in love with Santa Fe when I was there a few years ago …. unfortunately I missed seeing the church.
