I've been there to study that staircase, an interesting fact is that the wood was not local lumber, it was made from wood from hundreds of miles away before there was a railway to transport the lumber there. Some of the joints are visible and are staggered and interlocking on a curve. Just incredible
What are you talking about? Railways existed in the Sante Fe area prior to 1873-74 when the staircase was built. The staircase is made out of spruce and guess what? Spruce trees are common in Sante Fe. smh
This stuff happens all the darn time. I had a buddy conversing with God day once and pretty much said “if your real, prove it to me” Literally the next dude he talked to looked at him (didn’t know the guy) and said “God wants me to let you know everything is going to be okay, I just had a feeling you needed to hear that” God puts people in our path all the time.
My story is a little different but it relates back to the same miracle. It was just this past February that we "my family" fell on hard financial times, I'm the only one who works in our house because my wife is sick. "The lord knows her situation" I prayed one night with an open heart for him to help me, I said lord I'm not asking for riches I'm only asking for our needs to be met. Within a few days my phone started ringing off the hook with people needing home repairs, & this is after I have called everyone I knew looking for extra work & couldn't find anything. Everything I have, everything I am, I owe to the Lord himself. Thank you so much, Lord. 🙏🙏🙏
I was homeless and on drugs and just in the worst position in life. I sat down one day and just prayed to God for help. I said God I need you right now. I don't know what it is I need but I need help. I thanked the holy spirit for advocating for me because I knew the spirit was interceding for my lack of knowing what to say. I hadn't talked to God in a year. Within 2 weeks, I was in detox. This was 9 months ago. Right now I have a great job a car I'm paying rent and saving money and I'm clean. This is the power of faith and prayer. My entire life was changed. I thank God all the time for hearing me and everything he has done for me.
@@serendipidus8482 i'll gladly pray for your friend as well. i genuinely hope he gets his life together and leads a beautiful and positive life. God bless you all
My husband is a radius staircase specialist and has been doing spiral staircases for over 30 years. We took our family vacation cross country to see that staircase. He spent so many hours in this chaple trying to figure out how it was done. It is impossible, illogical, and yet it exists. Pictures don't do it justice, and there is an emotional reaction that I can only describe as a warm, peaceful contentment with a bit of joyful awe .
In one scene when Mary was asking Joseph about what he thought about baby "Jesus." He said, "I wonder if I could teach him anything." Mary smiled at Joseph - from the movie, "The Nativity" which is one of my favorite religious movies.
This story reminds me.... Back in 91, I was married and we had our first little one ☺ . We did not have a lot of money, thats how it normally is when you are starting a family. Anyway....That summer was incredibly hot. Our big (28,000 BTU) Air conditioner, quit cooling. With a little one I was really worried about it. I called several places and got prices on fixing our AC. All were more money , than we had. My hubby wouldn't let me call any of our Parents, who, btw, wouldn't have minded one bit, to loan us the money...... After I called the AC places, (I gave no information on where we lived, or even my name) that night I prayed, "Lord I know it's a silly thing to ask of You, but we need the air conditioner for our baby, please send us some help". The next day, an older man knocked on our door, and said "good afternoon dear, I was sent to check on your air conditioning, if you have time for me to look at it". (I know I got WIDE EYED. We lived over a mile off the main road. You HAD to get very specific directions to find our house! ) I let him check the AC, ( I was not scared, i had guns, we lived way out in the woods!) Anyway.... he charged the AC, patched the leak, and it didn't take very long. He said "all fixed". I said "how much do I owe you "? He said "I did not bring a receipt book, or an order for this job. Tell you what,I will be out this way again soon, and I'll let you know, ok"? He never came back. I called every place I had asked for price quotes, no one sent him. No one knew who he was. My husband was freaked out that evening , when he came into a cool house with me cooking dinner and baby all dressed 😂 instead of just in a diaper in the awful heat! He said "Did you call Your Dad"? I said "i promise, i did not call Dad, i did not call anyone, you said not to call them or ask them, we would handle it, but i did ask The Lord for help, you never said i couldn't ask Him." He said " well. I asked Him too. I reckon when we ask The Lord for anything , with a pure heart, He answers". Honest to God, TRUTH. 😊❤😊❤
That's an Amazing Story.. God Definitely listens when we have a Pure Heart with Pure intentions.. I was Born in 91 lol.. I'm Glad God Heard you 💯 thing's like that Really Build our Faith in God 💯✝️ I have a Story too.. Excuse me for how long it is.. I understand if Nobody Reads it lol.. Just Giving my Testimony on how God Came through for me and My Brother.. Just One of Many.. This is just one of the more "Intense" Stories I have with God ✝️🙏🏾.. Back in 2015 to 2017 I was pretty heavy in the streets. Me and my brother had an Apartment on the 3rd floor and my brother sold drugs and we had A lot of Guns (Illegal/Federal Indictment type guns).. At one point I remember counting 17 Guns in our crib.. My brother sold 3 different types of drugs and we had other things like a smoke bomb and 2 Bullet proof vest.. Anyway, One day I see on the news that the State Police, Local PD and The ATF were running a Sweep through our city and I knew 2 people that got arrested in the first go round.. One of them wasn't even close to doing what we were doing so I had this bad feeling.. I told my bro that I think they coming for us bro.. He was a bit arrogant and said "Me?? Na they can't get me" and I said aight.. But I had this feeling like I was a Sitting Duck just waiting to be Hunted.. I do Tattoos.. One night my brother wanted a Tattoo and I started on it at like 3am.. I didn't finish until 7am.. Had I Not did that Tattoo, we would have both went to sleep.. By that time, I went out to get some McDonald's and when I came back, My bro decided he was just going to stay up for the day.. I decided to go to sleep.. So he leaves and goes out to Re-up.. I go lay down.. He comes back 30 minutes later and comes in the crib and Puts his Re-up up and puts his Gun up and goes back out to go pick his little brother up and take him to school.. So he leaves back out and I try to go back to sleep.. I'd say about 10 Minutes later I hear Banging on the door.. I hadn't fell asleep but I was almost there so I hear the banging and with my half sleep Mind, I get Aggravated, grab my 40. Cal Baretta and Walk to the door and look out the peep hole.. I saw 4 white guys with Bullet proof Vest with Big Yellow Letters on the front that Spelled "A.T.F" Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms. (The FEDS).. I NEVER 🙅🏾 Woke up so fast in my LIFE 💯 I was legit looking at 4 Federal officers with Only a door in-between us with an illegal Gun in my Hand.. I threw the Gun on the couch and didn't really know what to do so I go quietly peep out the front window and I see our car with All the Doors open and my bro handcuffed on the curb with SWAT trucks outside and a bunch of Local PD.. I went and got the drugs and took them all out the packages and spread them out in the closet so it didn't look like we were selling it.. We only had 5 Guns in the house at the time but only 2 were handguns.. The other ones were a Mini 30mm machine gun, an AK-47 and a Sawed off Shotgun (Fed Charge) so I didn't know what to do with them and I didn't know where my bro put his Gun at.. So I go to the back window and look out thinking about jumping and realized I'm on the 3rd floor and I'm a break my legs if I jump.. So For a second I just sat and Prayed 🙏🏾.. But, it wasn't a prayer to get me out of it but more so a prayer accepting my fate.. I was like Lord, if this is how You Want it to go, then so be it.. Basically Your Will be Done type of Prayer.. Then I start thinking about all that Time I was Gon get if I get caught.. By this time about 5 Minutes have pass and I was wondering why they hadn't Kicked in the door.. When I looked out the peep hole at first, they were twisting the door knob trying to open the door but it was locked 🔒 so I'm thinking like they probably are about to send up the SWAT team in Full Tactical gear to Raid because the 4 ATF officers only had their Handguns. Anyway I had a 400cc Dirt bike in my Room.. I thought quick and Took a sheet, tied it to the Bike and took another sheet and tied it together with the other sheet.. The back window was facing the backside of the building so they couldn't see over the back and being that we were on the 3rd floor I guess they saw no Reason to Surround the building..I threw the sheet out and sat on the window curb, grabbed the sheet, prayed and jumped.. Idk how my feet landed on the 2nd floor window seal but they landed PERFECT, Giving me time to rope down and not make too much noise.. I hit the ground and went through the Cut.. By the time I got through the cut I was PARANOID, I'm thinking EVERY car is the police so I run into a Hallway and Call my people to come scoop me.. it's around 8:30am at this point so I'm waking everybody up but they understood the seriousness of the situation and 15 min later my people scooped me up and I left the Area.. I felt like I was in a Dream.. I could NOT believe I just escaped because, (I was 25 at the time) in my 25 years of Life, I had NEVER seen anyone Escape a Police Raid.. I'm 32 Now and I STILL Haven't seen that 💯 Anyway my brother ended up going down to be questioned and Booked on a Warrant.. The Detective told my brother that he doesn't understand why the ATF didn't Go inside the Apartment.. (They NEVER went in).. The detective told him had he been in charge of the Raid and Not the ATF, he would have sent his Men in. But because we were being investigated on Not only drugs but Multiple Firearms charges and they had been Investigating and watching us for 6 months and in-between that time, they saw us on New years Eve and that year, Nowhere in the Entire City were letting off more Rounds than we were.. We picked up over 800 She'll casings the next morning and it was about 10 of us shooting.. So they knew we were HEAVILY armed.. Had we had all our Men there and All our Guns we could have Held off SWAT to the point they would have had to Call in the National Guard if we decided to go out that way.. But anyway, Come to find out, they had a Warrant for Only my brothers arrest.. The ATF was playing by the book.. BUT they were trying to come in and get him so they could search the apartment.. So back to the beginning, What Saved me and Him was me doing his Tattoo and finishing it at 7am.. When I went out to McDonald's, they weren't out there But when my brother went out to Re-up, they were in the next hallway booting up.. When he came back, they could have got him but they wanted to wait until he was inside the apartment to come in because had he been inside, they could have came in to serve his warrant. But, like I said, he came in put his Re-up (Drugs) and his Gun up and left right back out.. As he was coming down the stairs, they were coming up.. Had he Stayed inside for 2 more minutes, We both would be in jail til this Day 💯 That was GOD ✝️💯🙏🏾🤞🏾 Everything Aligned PERFECTLY in our Favor and we had No Clue.. Between the Tattoo being finished at 7am and my bro deciding to stay up, between them wanting to get inside messed up their chances to catch him with a Gun and Drugs and they watched him go upstairs where he put it all up and him leaving Right back out to get his Brother.. had they came a little earlier or if it hadn't Lined up EXACTLY how it did, we'd be in Jail.. We would have been their Biggest Bust in the whole Sweep.. you can actually Google it.. "Operation Riptide" in VA.. They ended up giving out over 100 year's in that Sweep and by THE GRACE OF GOD ✝️ we slipped Right through their fingers.. GOD Aligned it PERFECTLY.. I can't stress that enough.. It was like had literally ANYTHING had Gon ANY Different down to 1-2 MINUTES, it would have cost me and my brother 15-20 years of our life 💯 That was GOD ✝️💯 That Slowed us down.. I skipped town soon after and lived in NC for a few months.. I've been Walking with God Since I was 21.. I just was in a Bad environment and we had good heart's.. God Knew that.. We were just doing what we had to do to survive 💯 but towards the end, really around New years coming into 2017, we had an incident where we were protecting someone and someone ended up getting shot (Not killed).. My brother sat down with me that Night and told me he doesn't think he Gon make it through the year (2017).. I told him, however it goes, I'm right with you bro.. People had planned on Robbing us ect ect but we were prepared for that 💯 But I started feeling like thing's were going too good for too long.. I Felt like something was about to happen.. I just didn't know if it were going to be someone trying to Rob us and we would have had to kill someone or even gotten killed or if the Feds were going to come down on us.. but I KNEW something was coming.. Just so happened to be The Feds 💯 But, GOD ✝️ Had us through it All 💯 My brother ended up getting Probation for the warrant.. But That Beats 15-20 years Fed time 💯 Fast Forward 6 and a Half Years and me and him are both still out here.. He's slowed down heavy on the streets.. I had got him into Racing cars and he really got into that and is doing well.. Me on the other hand, Has been Walking with God ✝️ and I'm in the stage where thing's aren't peaches and Cream but I got God and I know All is Well.. God Will Definitely Hear your Prayer 🙏🏾 when you Need Him 💯✝️🙏🏾🤞🏾📖
I visited this chapel when I was dying. As an atheist, I had turned from God. But, stood marveling at the stairs. Then from behind me my mother (dead 15years) said, “Open your heart to God!” And then I heard my dad (dead 25 years) say, “Listen to your mother!” I have devoted my life to God and was healed.
Me too, I was only 14 in the early 70s when I saw it. Most teens don't care about anything but what's happening in their own lives. However, seeing that and hearing the story stirred me and I consider it a true privilege to having viewed it personally.
Pray to God for what you need and do it with love and respect, it just prayed for someway to remove a big branch off my house after a terrible storm, that afternoon a kid 20 yrs old stoped by, I had never met this kid never seen this kid, he asked me if he could remove that branch from my house, and did it removed all the branches cleaned out my gutters and sat and talked to me for a few hours, he did not ask for anything, refused any money for doing it, but I gave him $100, And just told him God sent you to me let me do something for you, We helped each other God is Good ! Never doubt the power of prayer ! 🙏
About 10 yrs ago I went to go work in California, my boss set us up in this crap motel with no cable. I've had back problems for yrs, that low dull pain that is always there that keeps you in a bad mood but doesn't keep you from working. Anyway it was 12am and I couldn't sleep but my friend was already asleep. Nothing was on TV except for a televangelist. For some reason he started saying " there's a person out there whose had debilitating back pain for yrs and if thats you put your hand on mine and pray this prayer " I immediately thought, I ain't getting up. He then said if you can't get up just raise you hand and pray with me. I looked over at my friend to make sure he's asleep. I prayed that prayer with him and forgot about it. I dont believe in Televangelist 😂. But 1 week later I dropped my keys and thought oh no, cuz I know I'm gonna feel it. I bent down WITH NO PROBLEM 😢. and then I started realizing that pain wasn't there. I then remembered that prayer. Thank you Jesus, for removing that pain. Thank you so much...God bless everyone its been 10 yrs.
The fact it was a donkey is actually pretty important! Who else came into town riding a donkey through the desert in Christianity?... They also left out some key details in this story! The "carpenter" told the church he had some conditions. He said he would stay and live in the church while he worked and was not to be disturbed. He said the should leave him food 3 times a day at the door and knock and once they out it down and then leave. One of the nuns who dropped off the food kept getting more and more curious and kept asking the other nuns and priest "how do we know he's actually working? we should check in on him!" but they kept telling her No.. So finally after 3 months of dropping off food and coming back to empty plates outside the door she couldn't take it anymore! So she opened up the church door to find the church completely vacant and covered in cobwebs!... Like no one had been in the church the entire time except for the gleaming spiral staircase with no support beams or nails.. There was never any trace of the man and his donkey disappeared too.
I’ve been there and the staircase is gorgeous! Visitors are not allowed to climb on the stairs, or even touch them, in order to preserve them. But you can get close enough to see clearly the individual boards and how they curve and fit together. There are no nails, and mathematically, it’s supposed to be impossible to build. Yet here they are. The quality of the carpentry is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before - and my Dad and Grandpa were carpenters who built beautiful furniture. I wish they had been able to see that staircase in person.
Its not mathematically impossible to build, spiral staircase has been build everywhere long time ago before that. In fact, people already use steam engine when that stairs were built.
@@naz6james570 It’s not that the staircase is spiral that is amazing or impossible; it’s that this particular radius is impossibly small, there is no central or side support, and when first built, there was no handrail either. It’s a perfect helix, no support anywhere except where it is attached to the balcony floor and the church floor. The handrails were added many years later. When you’re standing there in person, you can see the vast difference in what you’re used to seeing on other spiral staircases, and how this one is made. If current architects can’t explain how it was made, it’s got to be a miracle! In this case, seeing is believing!
@@marshabraswell5681 what do you mean by radius impossibly small? Like I said this type of stairs existed long time before that. There's a secret group of french craftsmen and artisans called "compagnon du devoir", its a traditional mentoring network and apprenticeship by travelling. The stairs design is heavily influenced by those group(dont mean to spoiled it but they know what they did), even there's a historical painting called "Tableau de recéption de compagnon" dated back in early 1800s(french revolution) that resembles the design, obviously it has many variations and creativity between different craftsmen since it was popular. Its tough and seems impossible to be built by one person and that's part of their goals. They wanted to influence the public to adore the "impossible and godly craftsmenship" as a way of living without taking any credits. Just like "The three musketeers", not many people know that some part of it is based on true real characters and even the stories itself co-written by a ghostwriter.
@@rachelreneer56 so amazingly beautiful! The history and story behind it makes it that much more mysterious. Definitely has a feeling inside the Chappel that’s hard to explain!
I’m a lot younger than most of the people that’s sharing their experiences/stories. I wanna say it was about 2-3 months ago my car broke down I was leaving my universities campus after playing some sand volleyball with friends and nephews and my car wouldn’t start. There’s a lot of pivotal points to this story but to try and keep it short I was able to get my car fixed the next day and on the drive home I cried happy tears because I knew this was his way of telling me that the path he has for me is ready I just have to walk it with him❤️💯💯 Ever since that day I’ve done my best to go to church every week, stay positive, stop sinful habits, and spread his message to others through my experiences with God because I’ve had multiple but this was the that got me to lock in 🙌🏾💯💯
I've been in love and awe with this story since a little girl in Catholic school. It is still a mystery. Also the wood that' the stairs are made of gas yet to be discovered. Amen Goosebumps
This entire chapel is beautiful. If you ever get a chance to spend a day in Santa Fe, NM, do it. Lots of good food, rich history, and so many beautiful places to see.
I wished I could have seen the stairways to this chapel - I've heard about it and since I am creative, I admire other people's work. What a treat to learn that St. Joseph was the one that came to build this stairways and no nails. Amazing.
I literally saw this story on some documentary and it is one of the most incredible stories of a modern day miracle I've ever heard. It literally supports itself.
I prayed to saint Joseph for 2 weeks straight for my house to sell and for us to get our new house. We sold with the first viewing and we got our new house & we were its first viewing. Everything lined up perfectly. The power of prayer works and I’ve been thanking the heavens since.
Miz Spoon, If you are not already aware, there is the "Give Him 15" podcast and prayer with Dutch Sheets Mon.- Fri. for Salvation and Revival in America. I agree with you, America can and will be Saved!! 2nd Chronicles 7:14 Church!!
I visited Albuquerque, New Mexico as a boy with my mother and we witnessed (and took a picture) of a Virgin Mary statue very visibly crying blood on the day of the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is the moment I knew God was real and to this day the most unexplainable thing that I’ve ever seen. Sorry if it was off topic, the statue happened to be in front of a beautiful church too and your comment jogged my memory. How great that you are your wife were able to get married there! 👍✌️
@andrewlee6280 I'm a 47 year old retired Army veteran. 3 years ago on election day 2020 I had just finished voting and my wife and I were heading home. A man on a moped pulled outin front of me. I did everything I could to avoid hitting him. I swerved left, but it wasn't enough. Sadly, the man lost his life. It killed me! I've always considered myself as someone that is a protector and someone that is willing to do anything to help people. Even if it meant risking my life. Even though it wasn't my fault I still fell in a deep depression. I guess that's what brought all this on and that's when everything started. I started feeling, it's hard to explain, touching I guess you could say it was while laying in my bed. It was like a light static electricity. I know it wasn't my house because we had to stay in a hotel because of a bad water leak and had to replace 40% of the flooring and it was happening at the hotel. Then I started seeing things moving, but just slightly moving. The smoke detector in my hallway has a red light on it. While laying on my couch I started seeing that red light dance around and move crazily. I believe it was because, I guess it was a spirit, was in front of the smoke detector and distorted what I was looking at. Making it seem like it was moving. That's when I started recording. I also started noticing seeing people, beings, and spirits in reflections in mirrors and and anything reflective. I have little sliding glass doors on my fireplace. I noticed some entities in the doors and the doors were slowing opening. I sat my Galaxy A23 phone down on my coffee table to record. And it's weird because the camera on this phone is very clear. Except when I'm trying to film them. After I sat it down I noticed it was a bad angle. I picked it up to place it at a better angle. As I was going to sit it down I noticed out the corner of my eye a brown mist and this like brown oval creature with a tail just come out of the Mist. It flew down in front of my fireplace and came to sliding halt. It then reversed and flew back the exact way it came and disappeared into another brown mist. I captured the creature on video but I didn't get it coming or going out of the Mist. I was in the process of setting my phone down and was lucky I got what I did. It looks like it has a light on the end of its tail. Then I started noticing shadow people at the end of my couch. They would slowly pop their head up when they thought I wasn't looking . I started faking sleeping and would crack my eyes and could see them. They were a black that I've never seen before. They're also very hairy. I can tell by their outline and see so much hair.i caught one on video. He pokes his head out from behind my lamp. He then blows some black smoke. Goes back behind the lamp and then sticks his head back out again. And it looks like he's got something on his back the second time. They move do fast. If you're watching the video, pause it, zoom in, and use the slider thing to make it move slowly and you can see it Blow out the smoke. Last one, but I've caught do many more. I was laying on my couch with my legs like I'm about to do a situp, just trying to give you an idea as to how I was laying, with a blanket over my legs. I noticed this old woman form out my covers on the side of my right leg. She was only about 6 inches big. It's just her face and left arm. And she's smoking. At the same time a chair next to my TV had a cardboard box on it and some other things on it. Spirits entered the box and the other things on the chair. If you watch the video that's a regular cardboard box. I swear on my children's lives that it's all real. I'm an honorable retired service member. I just made a channel because I wanted to show the to my friends and family but they were to big to email or text. A friend of mine suggested that I make the channel and just tell them to go look at them there. Then I started seeing a bunch of people questioning the afterlife or the paranormal. It passes me off all the noitalls. Go to sgtjohnnywallsmith8720 on UA-cam. I'll say it again it's completely true! The afterlife is real. Spirits are real. Sorry for the long rant,but I needed to put this out there.
I am a woodworker. The amazing thing about this staircase is, to make the circular shape, the wood needs to be bent in two ways, twisted and bent to precise shapes. This is hard enough to do with steaming molds and clamping. The carpenter had none of those tools
I saw the stairway. It is impossible to make. The wood is no where to be found on this earth! He had no tools when he came to the chapel. No one helped him. Nuns were not allowed to watch or go in while he was creating the stairs! He left after he finished the staircase!! Super strong! Now roped off and they have tried to keep restored! It’s beautiful to see!!🙏💋
I was born and raised Catholic. I still am I remember this story being told to me in Catholic school and it gets my heart every time I hear it even as a child I believe I was in sixth grade. The first time I heard it was military we traveled all over the world and the last place we lived before my dad retired. We got to go to Catholic school, cause my older brother Years older than me he had a PE instructor at the Catholic school so for money they let my little sister and I go to the elementary Catholic school and I went for two years and then went back to the public schools and a very emotional story God hears your prayersmiracles happen thank you for repeating it
My grandma graduated from Loretto Academy. In the mornings before class my grandma and her best friend Frances would go to the chapel and they would pray for each other's brothers because they were in the war (WWII). Frances's brother was in the army so my grandma prayed for him. My grandma's brother was in the marines so Frances prayed for him. They both came back alive, and many years later my grandma married the man she prayed for all those years ago, my grandpa. My aunt Frances was her maid of honor.
No, my aunt Frances got married and moved out to Arkansas. She became a zookeeper. Whenever her family would come to visit she would end up taking some of us back with her for a couple of weeks. She and my grandma were always close.
We visited the chapel and all I can say, is that all these years later the power of God‘s presence can still be felt beyond measure! A reverence comes over your heart and tears fill your eyes… There’s just no way to explain it. I just wanted to touch a piece of wood that I knew my Savior touched! There are a few reinforcements to preserve it, and every part that He created in that precious little chapel is just out of reach. There are no words to convey the beauty of this masterpiece.
@@R0GUER0CK wow! That’s never happened to me… Sounds scary. I’ve definitely been in churches that I could feel bad spirits though, if that’s what you mean. I can sense it almost immediately and sure enough. If I visit for any mama time after that, I will see some drama take place that matches the spirit that I discerned. I have discerned spirits of greed, adultery, bigotry, pride, deception, jezebel (manipulation) you name it, but thank goodness I’ve also been in many churches, where there was only a feeling of genuine love for God and each other, and especially for anyone who is lost and needing to be loved and reminded that they are a treasure. Thank God for the sincere believers out there.
@@MrMagi95 how so? If it’s moving people’s hearts and even helping them to get their lives right with God… and seek God to learn His purposes and will for their life… how could it be a waste? Even if one life was changed positively it’s not a waste?
I am not a carpenter or a stone mason. I'm just a little grandma. I wanted a natural stone patio and wall around it in my backyard but I couldn't afford to hire anyone. I purchased a soft cover how-to book on brick work and stone masonry. I bought all the materials and had them delivered to my front yard. Then I sat down on the grass and cried because I had no idea what to do next. The stones were so heavy and I felt so helpless. Every day after that I went to mass but before mass, I knelt by the statue of St Joseph and prayed for his help. Little by little the work got done. Let me tell you, my muscles got big and strong! I prayed and prayed. I even told St Joseph that I would give him a statue in a prominent place in my yard. If I couldn't figure out how to do something, I asked him and I became enlightened as to how to proceed. I now have a beautiful natural stone patio and surrounding wall. Oh yes, and a beautiful statue of the Holy Family at work around a carpenter's bench. Another project I took on for a friend - a life sized Nativity. I had gotten a lot more skills by then but I couldn't figure out how to frame a roof. I was so frustrated with that roof! Of course I went to St Joseph. In prayer, he showed me in mental pictures how to make the roof of the hut. I went and made it with no difficulty. It looked absolutely beautiful at Christmas time with my friend's beautiful statues inside it. All the neighbors stop for a look. I love St Joseph and stop by his statue every day after mass. ❤
My mom used to refurbish old chairs and coffee and end tables, mostly that people were throwing away. She found this old rocking chair sitting on the curb, after she got it home and looked at it more closely she realised it didnt need any work, maybe some stain but something told her not to stain it, to just keep it original. She decided to keep it and put it in our living room. Over 20 years later of this chair sitting in the same spot my mom had a guy come to get her coffee table and do some work on it since she was getting too old to do it herself. This furniture expert saw the rocking chair and asked if he could look at it more closely, every single piece of wood was still tight and the chair was in perfect shape. He asked her where she got it and she said out of someones garbage. He was amazed to hear that. Turns out this chair is an original from the late 1700s to early 1800s. Theres not a single nail, screw or glue holding it together and every piece is still tight as can be, which is hard to find one like that, they usally broke at some point and would get put back together with modern equipment. He said this was the exact same way today as it was 200 years ago. He offered my mom a lot of money for it but she said no she wanted to keep it for her kids and grandkids. She wouldnt tell me how much he offered but she said it was well north of $1,000. Til this day it still sits in her living room and even occasionally gets sat in.
Almost every Carpenter across America is interested and baffled by this this is something that is truly amazing other architects come in and put the hand rails on it and there’s no main support beam it basically balances itself
well those carpenter's aint worth a shit cuz any carpenter should know that wood glue is stronger than any mechanical fasteners once cured...especially nails...
Thank you for bring this story to my awareness! I have a miracle story, when my daughter was a toddler we were not financially well off. I needed clothes for her and prayed somehow i would be able to afford to get her a few outfits. The next morning on my porch was a very large bag of mostly new clothes with tags on them from Nordstrom! All her size and next size up! Found out a neighbor was given theae clothes by a doctors wife to donate. She didnt even know me.
This chapel is filled with the Holy spirt. I walked over the threshold of the chapel and was knocked back with power of the Holy Ghost. I was in pure love in that chapel. I told my niece about Jesus for the first time there. All Christian should go there. It is beautiful and if you are blessed like me you will the power of this chaple❤.
The Holy Ghost does not dwell within manmade structures. When Jesus died on the cross the curtain in the temple that separated the inner room where the spirit of God dwelt from the outer area where the people were ripped in two. This was because God was no longer separated by sin from indwelling his people. We no longer had to have a priest act as a go between for us and God where they were the only ones allowed to enter into the inner room where God's spirit was. The Holy Spirit is literally a new species created at the moment Jesus died and it is the result of God's Spirit intertwining with the Spirit of a human being. It is not some separate being or spirit hanging out in human structures. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of a man intertwined and filled with the spirit of God.
What?! The Holy spirit is a new species created after Jesus died…. Wow. Jehovah used his Holy spirit to create everything around us that we know today. The galaxy, animals, earth, water, the other angels, Jesus, humans…ect..
I live in New Mexico and have been blessed to see this chapel its in Down town Santa Fe. The chapel is beautiful. I remember hearing that the wood was not even a wood you could get in that area at the time. It is definitely an amazing feeling to sit there and see it in all its glory!
You are right, the wood isn’t native to the area. The staircase is truly miraculous! My husband and I got married there and were allowed to take pictures on the staircase. It is so beautiful. ❤️
The Real Story Local historian Mary Jean Cook Straw has spent years researching archives starting in the 1980s and she uncovered the mystery behind the carpenter who built the staircase (built some time during the years 1877-1881). His name was Francois-Jean Rochas, a French transplant of the mid-1800s who had settled in New Mexico around 1846. He was an established carpenter and known to many. He was hired to build the spiral staircase for the St. Vincent sanitarium [later destroyed by fire] also in Santa Fe. Among the evidence she uncovered were documents relating to the construction, including an 1881 entry in the Sister’s Day Book explaining an expenditure of money, “Paid for wood Mr Rochas, $150.00.” Rochas was killed in a gun fight in Dog Canyon, near Alamogordo, in December 1894. His death notice in the 5 January 1895 Santa Fe New Mexican mentions that he was known as the builder of the spiral staircase.
EXACTLY!! LITERALLY took 2min to verify what you said💯Can’t stand when these shorts say BS when the answers is in their hand but they don’t use it! Hope that you and your family have a blessed one, Paul🙏
Wrong it’s completely explained and the lumber was shipped to a yard from overseas. Just look it up it’s no miracle or have anything to do with doubters. Religious zealots use it to try to prove something but they wrong.
Yeah, I actually saw a documentary about this. It truly is baffling. They can't seem to verify anything at all, aside from the fact that the staircase they needed and prayed for, was built. They can't figure out who this man was, where he got the wood he used, who hired him, where did he learn his methods, why didn't he wish to be paid for his work? There are no answers, only more questions. Regardless of who, how, and why, the work was incredibly precise and accurate. True, old-world craftsmanship that people just don't aspire to these days. We are a disposable society, we don't build things to last anymore.
Accepting gifts and never learning to fish, our species is a wounded dog, ready to be strangled out of its misery like a desperate struggling matted cur.
@@smellymala3103 Damn! That attitude certainly matches your username and comment. Cynical much? I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from here. So are you saying that because this church allowed someone (who told them that he was there to repair the staircase) to fix the staircase, that the church was weak for not building it themselves ( Even though they don't have the skills...). And because they were weak, they deserve annihilation? If I'm understanding you correctly, you are quite bleak and need a hug.
My family has some neat antique furniture that most of the younger generation neither appreciates nor wants. I have an in-law that is living the disposable life!
The wood used was a type of spruce, not native to new mexico. Furthermore yet to be scientifically identified growing anywhere on earth yet. The man allowed no one to watch his work. The amount of math to establish a perfect helix staircase is mind boggling. Showed up on a donkey. Gave no name with mystery wood to build a masterpiece then left without payment.
my sister visited this church when she lived in NM because her husband’s aunt said she had a dream of he son visiting that exact church , She took her son there about 1 week later because he was diagnosed with a disease (can’t remember what it was) but he was not able could not walk & also has autism , they where sitting down in one of the rows just praying when he just stood up and started walking around the church by himself while obviously holding on to things for more balance, he is still going strong till this day 🙏Thank God
I remember a presence of one or more peaceful spirits when being in the chapel. It felt thick as I was walking through the air, palpable. I’m not Catholic, but I cannot deny what I experienced there.
It is as if they were made by the Great Carpenter Jesus himself. All the Glory ☝️🙏.... Who else rode in on a donkey. The Son of God did. Amen and Amen. .
@@11piesang- Imagine that. Jesus: "Hey, dad!" Joseph and God simultaneously: "Yeah?" _[All three exchange awkward looks for a moment before breaking into laughter.]_
It's well documented that Francois-Jean Rochas built the staircase to plans already drawn by the original architect. They are built from Ponderosa Pine stringers and Pinyon Pine treads. They are magnificent. They are not a miracle.
You know that building wood structure without nails are existing right? It's complicated than using nails but it is existing and well documented. Also, the plans are left by the 1st builder. What are you high on?
🤣 I've done volunteer work for my denomination in a different state, and when I was done I didn't ride out on a donkey... I road out in a F350... It wasn't a miracle... And honestly homes were built out of wood with no nails for a very, very long time... Calling something a miracle when it wasn't a miracle at all is why people have stopped going to churches globally... It's moronic positions like that that's the reason why attendance went down to almost a 16th of what it was 40 years ago... Christians... Converting more people to atheism than Christianity... When you see God in heaven tell him that you failed
I think he also asked for privacy while he built it, so know one saw his actual building method, so he built it in secret and left when he completed it.
@@j.d.8160 the compagnons were considered a military secret until 1799, when it was opened to teach to the “public” and compagnon schools popped up all over France and Germany. So before 1799 it was treason to teach without authorization. After 1799 you could be disciplined within the guild for teaching outsiders.
@@adamsloan7612 he was quite well off for a laborer, compangnons were required to be unmarried and free of debt to practice. he retired with a bunch of cattle and built a stone house.
A team of scientists also came in to see what kind of wood it was. The Loretto stairs are made out of a spruce not native to not only New Mexico, but they can’t identify it to ANY spruce ANYWHERE in the world.
My story is of a man who lost everything and was just in terrible conditions. He had thoughts of ending himself but ine night a light appeared and told him if you pray to me then i will bless you my child. The man looked at the light and told the light no thanks cause if you im in this mess. That morning he started feeling good about himself and his journey took a completley different turn for the better. His journey got better cause he knew what that light represented and he didnt want any parts of it. He remember his father telling him hiw he also was down and the light appeared and promised him good life if he gave himself to him. His father life was indeed better but he saud his father said that he was soending more time worshipping and trying to make sure his kids worship that h completely lost control of his journey and happiness. He told his son if you ever is down and the light or spirit appears to ignore it cause it will only appear when your journey is about to change. Dont evdr choose worshipping something outside of you cause you then give it control of you and your journey.
I got to walk up that staircase as a child. I grew up and still live in Northern New Mexico. There are many sacred places here. I've seen grass growing from a church in the winter, on the north side. GOD IS GREAT!!!
I visited this chapel and all I can say is that it is magnificent and so beautiful, words cannot describe the feeling you have when you’re standing in the space.🕊️
As one whose from northern New Mexico. I can honestly say the feeling you get while inside that chapel is really hard to explain. The stair case is absolutely beautiful too.
(Please read this for tomorrow is promised to no one!) We’ve all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God: (“Roman’s 3:23”) And God has pronounced that the penalty of sin Even committing just one sin, would make you liable To spiritual death and separation from God for all of eternity in a place of judgment called Hell. We all deserve Gods judgment All of us like sheep have gone astray, We have turned, each one, to his own way; But the LORD has caused the wickedness of us all [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing] To fall on Him [instead of us]. : “For the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23) BUT the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” (“John 3:16”)✝️ “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Jesus took our punishment death! and took it on the cross and gave up his life For us on the cross of Carvery that we may be reconciled to the father Making a way through Him self John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

HES COMING FOR HIS PEOPLE Repent and turn from your sins and to turn to God 1 John 1:9-10 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. 1 Timothy 2:4-6 God wants everyone to be saved and to fully understand the truth. There is only one God, and there is only one way that people can reach God. That way is through Christ Jesus, who as a man gave himself to pay for everyone to be free. This is the message that was given to us at just the right time..
So are many houses in Japan who also used no nails & had incredible craftsmanship.. The difference is they never claimed it was some God or that it couldn't be recreated.. Not just a shitty staircase & whole house & all the joins are more perfect that the pyramids were.. You see this all over the world.. Its not a God/Joseph thing.. Its just carpentry..
@jayknight139 No, it isn't. Go google Japanese construction. Far more impressive and 0 nails used. Unexplainable: DUDE WROTE A LETTER BEFORE HE DIED. CARPTENTER GATHERD WOOD HIMSELF. Guys in town here literally mill their own lumber and build homes themselves.
The original stairs did not have handrails at all. They were added much later, I think in about the 1930s. The acoustics in that chapel are amazing, too!! The whole chapel is stunning and the Presence of God is definitely there!
When i was 8 months pregnant, we had renovations on our house. The construtor left on december 24th, leaving us behind in a unfinished house and had already recieved 6500 euro (so called budget for him to order windows, stones et cetera). We never saw him or the money back. My daughter was unexpectely born on the 31st of december (same birthdate of my husband's deceased sister and the 4 weeks earlier delivery turned out to be a life saver because of the knot in the bellycourt). a month later we won the lottery....... 6500 euro's. This still feels as a divine intervention to this day 🙏✨️
So…everything you want to be “God’s” work is him, but not the things that would be a terrible thing to link to him….like children suffering…his work, or no??!! hmmm? If it’s ALL him, he is a disgusting and unbelievably cruel entity.
Only a demon could build it. I’m sorry people but the stupid fairy tails of angels is total bullshit. I’d believe there are demons before I’d ever believe in retarded angels 😂
@@wishmartinez4022 that's not what it says. You can't mess up something that was built magically to withstand anything. It was blocked off for safety. There were many safety concerns with the stairs. One was the lack of railing but then it was the structure!
The species of wood he used was not indigenous to Santa Fe, New Mexico. Also, the BOTTOM piece is made from one continuous piece of bent wood. There's also, a natural spring in the Spiral Staircase. With no railing. The railing was added much later.😊 It's very impressive 👏 BTW, there was no lumber yard. People went and chopped down the wood they beeded, took it to the saw mill, if they had one.

@@jasbelial3943just because someone on the internet writes an article which claims to debunk something, doesn't mean they actually did. Granted, I've not looked deeply into this specific case, but if you find a recreation of this staircase using the exact methods that can be seen in the original. That's how you really debunk something. However, they said they had experts come in who didn't know how it was done. You best to find out who these people are and ask them.

@@Dr.exsackevil and bad things happen to good and bad people alike.

My uncle got married back in the day at this chapel. I was 9 or 10 and just remembering the powerful beauty and mystery of seeing this staircase. It gave me goosebumps in a good way
@Raysystemic yeah I'm excited for the remake, I heard they used every part of the staircase they could in this one, Johnny will take it to the next level without a doubt.
Totally true. I saw this on an episode of Unsolved Mysteries back in the early 90s. The best part is when other architects have looked at it and said it should not exist. There are no stabilizing beams, just the stairs in a spiral pattern that are weighted to each other.
Apparently, a sample of the wood was sent off for study. From what they could tell, the wood used to build the staircase has been confirmed to be a type of spruce which is not native to New Mexico and scientifically not identified anywhere else in the world. The closest dna-wise was a tree species found in Alaska.
Definitely not a "miracle" the Catholics are the mother of harlots the bible spoke of in revelation. Who wears purple, scarlet and drinks from the golden cup. The Catholics are pagan, and Yah will have his revenge
I grew up with this story being on unsolved mysteries and various other shows talking about it through the years but not since the 90’s. It’s amazing and glad to see the next generation seeing this miracle❤✝️
New generations aren’t as close to God and have a very different approach and belief to God, religion, science, etc. They want undeniable facts and proofs. The very basis of faith is a belief that something is real even without proof. We have faith that the sun will rise tomorrow, rain will come at some point, our children will be adults, food will always be available, human minds are the highest of leadership on a planet and that nothing can defeat them, air will always be available, the ground is here and it’s good. Strawberry plants will produce strawberries. Etc….. No one doubts these things even with some evidence that they can change. Humans believe that even with those changes, humans will always be here on earth. Most people have faith that they will live from minute to minute because if we ever grasped how truly our fragile our life and control is; we would extend more kindness, grace, love, forgiveness, help, control, experience the hundreds of tiny things throughout each day that are actually miracles or we’d be in a ball having a mental breakdown. Christians of today are fence riders. They want to change text as to how it suits them in order to make their actions not a sin or they use God as a spare tire meaning the only time they worship God is in the bad times or the valley of life. When they are high up on that mountain, they forget God and think that they did all of it by theirselves. The mighty God in the valley is the same mighty God on the mountain. Most people don’t abandon God in their darkest hours; they abandon God when they reach success. I believe it Matthew 19:23-26 that tells us that it is easier to pass a camel through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. For all of the people who strive to be rich and successful, how are you striving to do it? Are you willing to lie, cheat, and steal from the people beneath you to be rich & successful? Honest people aren’t good at a lot of businesses because they aren’t willing to lie, cheat, or steal. We are seeing the toxicity of a culture who has taken God out of everything and replaced it with? Even if you’re not a believer, Christian principles are still the principles that are good and we choose to abide by. We all need to follow biblical principles if we are believers and pray for nonbelievers. Set a better example and live that example. We all need to ask for discernment from God and pray God shows us the path we need to follow rather than look for scientific proof.
I've been there to study that staircase, an interesting fact is that the wood was not local lumber, it was made from wood from hundreds of miles away before there was a railway to transport the lumber there. Some of the joints are visible and are staggered and interlocking on a curve. Just incredible
Wow! Thank you for sharing 💞
same person who built the pramids, it sounds like.
wow
What are you talking about? Railways existed in the Sante Fe area prior to 1873-74 when the staircase was built. The staircase is made out of spruce and guess what? Spruce trees are common in Sante Fe. smh
what evidence do you have to support your claims?
This stuff happens all the darn time. I had a buddy conversing with God day once and pretty much said “if your real, prove it to me”
Literally the next dude he talked to looked at him (didn’t know the guy) and said “God wants me to let you know everything is going to be okay, I just had a feeling you needed to hear that”
God puts people in our path all the time.
Wow that's amazing! I experienced a similar situation and God sent a man to say the exact same words to me verbatim! 💯🙏🏽
Oh wow! I’ve heard a lot of people with this same source! “Trust me bro” is WAAAAAAAY better than Wikipedia!
My story is a little different but it relates back to the same miracle.
It was just this past February that we "my family" fell on hard financial times, I'm the only one who works in our house because my wife is sick. "The lord knows her situation" I prayed one night with an open heart for him to help me, I said lord I'm not asking for riches I'm only asking for our needs to be met. Within a few days my phone started ringing off the hook with people needing home repairs, & this is after I have called everyone I knew looking for extra work & couldn't find anything.
Everything I have, everything I am, I owe to the Lord himself.
Thank you so much, Lord. 🙏🙏🙏

Yes he is!
I was homeless and on drugs and just in the worst position in life. I sat down one day and just prayed to God for help. I said God I need you right now. I don't know what it is I need but I need help. I thanked the holy spirit for advocating for me because I knew the spirit was interceding for my lack of knowing what to say. I hadn't talked to God in a year. Within 2 weeks, I was in detox. This was 9 months ago. Right now I have a great job a car I'm paying rent and saving money and I'm clean. This is the power of faith and prayer. My entire life was changed. I thank God all the time for hearing me and everything he has done for me.
I'm glad you made it. ❤

My husband is a radius staircase specialist and has been doing spiral staircases for over 30 years. We took our family vacation cross country to see that staircase. He spent so many hours in this chaple trying to figure out how it was done. It is impossible, illogical, and yet it exists. Pictures don't do it justice, and there is an emotional reaction that I can only describe as a warm, peaceful contentment with a bit of joyful awe .
Only freemasons know the secrets to how that was built
Wow! What an amazing and most interesting story. God is real. Amen 🙏
He needs a new profession then.Its a helix staircase and can be built fairly easy.
Not true. It's scientifically proven to be a miracle.
They made a movie out of it.
I live in New Mexico. These stairs are very famous. Everyone here knows the story.. they are absolutely stunning.
In one scene when Mary was asking Joseph about what he thought about baby "Jesus." He said, "I wonder if I could teach him anything." Mary smiled at Joseph - from the movie, "The Nativity" which is one of my favorite religious movies.
I'm in nm too, hey girl heeeey (waves hankerchief at you like in old school cartoons)
Aye gotta love my peeps from the 505! We truly live in a holy state I believe. Many places have stories like this chapel
As a catholic I have always heard this story. Gives me goosebumps.
Beautiful❤
Why do you worship cats? ie Cat - Holic.
This story reminds me....
Back in 91, I was married and we had our first little one ☺ . We did not have a lot of money, thats how it normally is when you are starting a family. Anyway....That summer was incredibly hot. Our big (28,000 BTU) Air conditioner, quit cooling. With a little one I was really worried about it. I called several places and got prices on fixing our AC. All were more money , than we had. My hubby wouldn't let me call any of our Parents, who, btw, wouldn't have minded one bit, to loan us the money......
After I called the AC places, (I gave no information on where we lived, or even my name) that night I prayed, "Lord I know it's a silly thing to ask of You, but we need the air conditioner for our baby, please send us some help".
The next day, an older man knocked on our door, and said "good afternoon dear, I was sent to check on your air conditioning, if you have time for me to look at it".
(I know I got WIDE EYED. We lived over a mile off the main road. You HAD to get very specific directions to find our house! )
I let him check the AC, ( I was not scared, i had guns, we lived way out in the woods!)
Anyway.... he charged the AC, patched the leak, and it didn't take very long. He said "all fixed". I said "how much do I owe you "? He said "I did not bring a receipt book, or an order for this job. Tell you what,I will be out this way again soon, and I'll let you know, ok"?
He never came back. I called every place I had asked for price quotes, no one sent him. No one knew who he was.
My husband was freaked out that evening , when he came into a cool house with me cooking dinner and baby all dressed 😂 instead of just in a diaper in the awful heat! He said "Did you call Your Dad"? I said "i promise, i did not call Dad, i did not call anyone, you said not to call them or ask them, we would handle it, but i did ask The Lord for help, you never said i couldn't ask Him."
He said " well. I asked Him too. I reckon when we ask The Lord for anything , with a pure heart, He answers".
Honest to God, TRUTH. 😊❤😊❤
That's an Amazing Story.. God Definitely listens when we have a Pure Heart with Pure intentions.. I was Born in 91 lol.. I'm Glad God Heard you 💯 thing's like that Really Build our Faith in God 💯✝️
I have a Story too.. Excuse me for how long it is.. I understand if Nobody Reads it lol.. Just Giving my Testimony on how God Came through for me and My Brother.. Just One of Many.. This is just one of the more "Intense" Stories I have with God ✝️🙏🏾..
Back in 2015 to 2017 I was pretty heavy in the streets. Me and my brother had an Apartment on the 3rd floor and my brother sold drugs and we had A lot of Guns (Illegal/Federal Indictment type guns).. At one point I remember counting 17 Guns in our crib.. My brother sold 3 different types of drugs and we had other things like a smoke bomb and 2 Bullet proof vest.. Anyway, One day I see on the news that the State Police, Local PD and The ATF were running a Sweep through our city and I knew 2 people that got arrested in the first go round.. One of them wasn't even close to doing what we were doing so I had this bad feeling.. I told my bro that I think they coming for us bro.. He was a bit arrogant and said "Me?? Na they can't get me" and I said aight.. But I had this feeling like I was a Sitting Duck just waiting to be Hunted.. I do Tattoos.. One night my brother wanted a Tattoo and I started on it at like 3am.. I didn't finish until 7am.. Had I Not did that Tattoo, we would have both went to sleep.. By that time, I went out to get some McDonald's and when I came back, My bro decided he was just going to stay up for the day.. I decided to go to sleep.. So he leaves and goes out to Re-up.. I go lay down.. He comes back 30 minutes later and comes in the crib and Puts his Re-up up and puts his Gun up and goes back out to go pick his little brother up and take him to school.. So he leaves back out and I try to go back to sleep.. I'd say about 10 Minutes later I hear Banging on the door.. I hadn't fell asleep but I was almost there so I hear the banging and with my half sleep Mind, I get Aggravated, grab my 40. Cal Baretta and Walk to the door and look out the peep hole.. I saw 4 white guys with Bullet proof Vest with Big Yellow Letters on the front that Spelled "A.T.F" Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms. (The FEDS).. I NEVER 🙅🏾 Woke up so fast in my LIFE 💯 I was legit looking at 4 Federal officers with Only a door in-between us with an illegal Gun in my Hand.. I threw the Gun on the couch and didn't really know what to do so I go quietly peep out the front window and I see our car with All the Doors open and my bro handcuffed on the curb with SWAT trucks outside and a bunch of Local PD.. I went and got the drugs and took them all out the packages and spread them out in the closet so it didn't look like we were selling it.. We only had 5 Guns in the house at the time but only 2 were handguns.. The other ones were a Mini 30mm machine gun, an AK-47 and a Sawed off Shotgun (Fed Charge) so I didn't know what to do with them and I didn't know where my bro put his Gun at.. So I go to the back window and look out thinking about jumping and realized I'm on the 3rd floor and I'm a break my legs if I jump.. So For a second I just sat and Prayed 🙏🏾.. But, it wasn't a prayer to get me out of it but more so a prayer accepting my fate.. I was like Lord, if this is how You Want it to go, then so be it.. Basically Your Will be Done type of Prayer.. Then I start thinking about all that Time I was Gon get if I get caught.. By this time about 5 Minutes have pass and I was wondering why they hadn't Kicked in the door.. When I looked out the peep hole at first, they were twisting the door knob trying to open the door but it was locked 🔒 so I'm thinking like they probably are about to send up the SWAT team in Full Tactical gear to Raid because the 4 ATF officers only had their Handguns. Anyway I had a 400cc Dirt bike in my Room.. I thought quick and Took a sheet, tied it to the Bike and took another sheet and tied it together with the other sheet.. The back window was facing the backside of the building so they couldn't see over the back and being that we were on the 3rd floor I guess they saw no Reason to Surround the building..I threw the sheet out and sat on the window curb, grabbed the sheet, prayed and jumped.. Idk how my feet landed on the 2nd floor window seal but they landed PERFECT, Giving me time to rope down and not make too much noise.. I hit the ground and went through the Cut.. By the time I got through the cut I was PARANOID, I'm thinking EVERY car is the police so I run into a Hallway and Call my people to come scoop me.. it's around 8:30am at this point so I'm waking everybody up but they understood the seriousness of the situation and 15 min later my people scooped me up and I left the Area.. I felt like I was in a Dream.. I could NOT believe I just escaped because, (I was 25 at the time) in my 25 years of Life, I had NEVER seen anyone Escape a Police Raid.. I'm 32 Now and I STILL Haven't seen that 💯 Anyway my brother ended up going down to be questioned and Booked on a Warrant.. The Detective told my brother that he doesn't understand why the ATF didn't Go inside the Apartment.. (They NEVER went in).. The detective told him had he been in charge of the Raid and Not the ATF, he would have sent his Men in. But because we were being investigated on Not only drugs but Multiple Firearms charges and they had been Investigating and watching us for 6 months and in-between that time, they saw us on New years Eve and that year, Nowhere in the Entire City were letting off more Rounds than we were.. We picked up over 800 She'll casings the next morning and it was about 10 of us shooting.. So they knew we were HEAVILY armed.. Had we had all our Men there and All our Guns we could have Held off SWAT to the point they would have had to Call in the National Guard if we decided to go out that way.. But anyway, Come to find out, they had a Warrant for Only my brothers arrest.. The ATF was playing by the book.. BUT they were trying to come in and get him so they could search the apartment.. So back to the beginning, What Saved me and Him was me doing his Tattoo and finishing it at 7am.. When I went out to McDonald's, they weren't out there But when my brother went out to Re-up, they were in the next hallway booting up.. When he came back, they could have got him but they wanted to wait until he was inside the apartment to come in because had he been inside, they could have came in to serve his warrant. But, like I said, he came in put his Re-up (Drugs) and his Gun up and left right back out.. As he was coming down the stairs, they were coming up.. Had he Stayed inside for 2 more minutes, We both would be in jail til this Day 💯 That was GOD ✝️💯🙏🏾🤞🏾 Everything Aligned PERFECTLY in our Favor and we had No Clue.. Between the Tattoo being finished at 7am and my bro deciding to stay up, between them wanting to get inside messed up their chances to catch him with a Gun and Drugs and they watched him go upstairs where he put it all up and him leaving Right back out to get his Brother.. had they came a little earlier or if it hadn't Lined up EXACTLY how it did, we'd be in Jail.. We would have been their Biggest Bust in the whole Sweep.. you can actually Google it.. "Operation Riptide" in VA.. They ended up giving out over 100 year's in that Sweep and by THE GRACE OF GOD ✝️ we slipped Right through their fingers.. GOD Aligned it PERFECTLY.. I can't stress that enough.. It was like had literally ANYTHING had Gon ANY Different down to 1-2 MINUTES, it would have cost me and my brother 15-20 years of our life 💯 That was GOD ✝️💯 That Slowed us down.. I skipped town soon after and lived in NC for a few months.. I've been Walking with God Since I was 21.. I just was in a Bad environment and we had good heart's.. God Knew that.. We were just doing what we had to do to survive 💯 but towards the end, really around New years coming into 2017, we had an incident where we were protecting someone and someone ended up getting shot (Not killed).. My brother sat down with me that Night and told me he doesn't think he Gon make it through the year (2017).. I told him, however it goes, I'm right with you bro.. People had planned on Robbing us ect ect but we were prepared for that 💯 But I started feeling like thing's were going too good for too long.. I Felt like something was about to happen.. I just didn't know if it were going to be someone trying to Rob us and we would have had to kill someone or even gotten killed or if the Feds were going to come down on us.. but I KNEW something was coming.. Just so happened to be The Feds 💯 But, GOD ✝️ Had us through it All 💯 My brother ended up getting Probation for the warrant.. But That Beats 15-20 years Fed time 💯 Fast Forward 6 and a Half Years and me and him are both still out here.. He's slowed down heavy on the streets.. I had got him into Racing cars and he really got into that and is doing well.. Me on the other hand, Has been Walking with God ✝️ and I'm in the stage where thing's aren't peaches and Cream but I got God and I know All is Well.. God Will Definitely Hear your Prayer 🙏🏾 when you Need Him 💯✝️🙏🏾🤞🏾📖

I visited this chapel when I was dying. As an atheist, I had turned from God. But, stood marveling at the stairs. Then from behind me my mother (dead 15years) said, “Open your heart to God!” And then I heard my dad (dead 25 years) say, “Listen to your mother!” I have devoted my life to God and was healed.
Incredible! God blessed you! Thank you for sharing your story. May you be well for the rest of your life.❤
"Listen to your mother!" is what made me believe you in your story. That's certainly dad right there.
I once did hallucinogenic drugs too.
AMEN!
AMEN!
I have seen this church years ago.
I will never forget the feelings of AWE
I experienced.
Me too, I was only 14 in the early 70s when I saw it. Most teens don't care about anything but what's happening in their own lives. However, seeing that and hearing the story stirred me and I consider it a true privilege to having viewed it personally.
Beautiful story. The stairs look heavenly made to me!!
Praise God. Please make more stories like this. We all are tired of so much negativity ❤❤❤
Pray to God for what you need and do it with love and respect, it just prayed for someway to remove a big branch off my house after a terrible storm, that afternoon a kid 20 yrs old stoped by, I had never met this kid never seen this kid, he asked me if he could remove that branch from my house, and did it removed all the branches cleaned out my gutters and sat and talked to me for a few hours, he did not ask for anything, refused any money for doing it, but I gave him $100, And just told him God sent you to me let me do something for you, We helped each other God is Good ! Never doubt the power of prayer ! 🙏
Amen!
If you're so tired of negativity, then call out your fellow Christians for being Trump's base.
🙏 Amen 🙏 Thank you

So all ancient buildings in Japan are also "god-sent" then as they never used nails either!

Love this story, as a carpenter since 1989, straight stairs suck 😂 no nails? AIN'T HAPPENING BY ME!
That's why it's so amazing and he rode in on a donkey 🫏 It was Jesus Christ aka God
About 10 yrs ago I went to go work in California, my boss set us up in this crap motel with no cable. I've had back problems for yrs, that low dull pain that is always there that keeps you in a bad mood but doesn't keep you from working. Anyway it was 12am and I couldn't sleep but my friend was already asleep. Nothing was on TV except for a televangelist. For some reason he started saying " there's a person out there whose had debilitating back pain for yrs and if thats you put your hand on mine and pray this prayer " I immediately thought, I ain't getting up. He then said if you can't get up just raise you hand and pray with me. I looked over at my friend to make sure he's asleep. I prayed that prayer with him and forgot about it. I dont believe in Televangelist 😂. But 1 week later I dropped my keys and thought oh no, cuz I know I'm gonna feel it. I bent down WITH NO PROBLEM 😢. and then I started realizing that pain wasn't there. I then remembered that prayer. Thank you Jesus, for removing that pain. Thank you so much...God bless everyone its been 10 yrs.
Stay faithful brother, it doesn't end there. The Father loves you and will never leave you. Know your calling and joyfully live your life.
Thank YAHSHUA that’s his true name Acts 4
Thank you for sharing this story! What a great blessing! Praise God!

@@yojjjyoj1116What exactly is that suppose to mean??
The fact it was a donkey is actually pretty important! Who else came into town riding a donkey through the desert in Christianity?... They also left out some key details in this story! The "carpenter" told the church he had some conditions. He said he would stay and live in the church while he worked and was not to be disturbed. He said the should leave him food 3 times a day at the door and knock and once they out it down and then leave. One of the nuns who dropped off the food kept getting more and more curious and kept asking the other nuns and priest "how do we know he's actually working? we should check in on him!" but they kept telling her No.. So finally after 3 months of dropping off food and coming back to empty plates outside the door she couldn't take it anymore! So she opened up the church door to find the church completely vacant and covered in cobwebs!... Like no one had been in the church the entire time except for the gleaming spiral staircase with no support beams or nails.. There was never any trace of the man and his donkey disappeared too.
it's new mexico. do you have any idea how many donkey-riding josephs and jesuses there have been in new mexico???
@@creepyloner1979YES BUT ONLY ONE COULD DO THAT!
Although I don't know if I believe it was him due to the fact that they prayed to Joseph..... Your supposed to pray to God!!!!!!!

@@PaulaPadgett-yw4jqthis part
I’ve been there and the staircase is gorgeous! Visitors are not allowed to climb on the stairs, or even touch them, in order to preserve them. But you can get close enough to see clearly the individual boards and how they curve and fit together. There are no nails, and mathematically, it’s supposed to be impossible to build. Yet here they are. The quality of the carpentry is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before - and my Dad and Grandpa were carpenters who built beautiful furniture. I wish they had been able to see that staircase in person.
Its not mathematically impossible to build, spiral staircase has been build everywhere long time ago before that. In fact, people already use steam engine when that stairs were built.
@@naz6james570 It’s not that the staircase is spiral that is amazing or impossible; it’s that this particular radius is impossibly small, there is no central or side support, and when first built, there was no handrail either. It’s a perfect helix, no support anywhere except where it is attached to the balcony floor and the church floor. The handrails were added many years later. When you’re standing there in person, you can see the vast difference in what you’re used to seeing on other spiral staircases, and how this one is made. If current architects can’t explain how it was made, it’s got to be a miracle! In this case, seeing is believing!
@@marshabraswell5681 what do you mean by radius impossibly small? Like I said this type of stairs existed long time before that. There's a secret group of french craftsmen and artisans called "compagnon du devoir", its a traditional mentoring network and apprenticeship by travelling. The stairs design is heavily influenced by those group(dont mean to spoiled it but they know what they did), even there's a historical painting called "Tableau de recéption de compagnon" dated back in early 1800s(french revolution) that resembles the design, obviously it has many variations and creativity between different craftsmen since it was popular. Its tough and seems impossible to be built by one person and that's part of their goals. They wanted to influence the public to adore the "impossible and godly craftsmenship" as a way of living without taking any credits. Just like "The three musketeers", not many people know that some part of it is based on true real characters and even the stories itself co-written by a ghostwriter.
My son was married there. They took pictures on that staircase. My father and my aunt played on the staircase as children.

I was born & raised here❤🙏😇 Downtown is where this beautiful church stands💜Everytime I walk in I feel the peace&love in there.

You are lucky you have churches that you can just walk into.

@@nawfjoker8415Yes but it is blocked off because over the years people have gotten stupid and disrespectful and have tried to climb the stairs.

I’m a lot younger than most of the people that’s sharing their experiences/stories. I wanna say it was about 2-3 months ago my car broke down I was leaving my universities campus after playing some sand volleyball with friends and nephews and my car wouldn’t start. There’s a lot of pivotal points to this story but to try and keep it short I was able to get my car fixed the next day and on the drive home I cried happy tears because I knew this was his way of telling me that the path he has for me is ready I just have to walk it with him❤️💯💯 Ever since that day I’ve done my best to go to church every week, stay positive, stop sinful habits, and spread his message to others through my experiences with God because I’ve had multiple but this was the that got me to lock in 🙌🏾💯💯
Get in a good Bible study and study Gods word. If you want to hear Gods voice read the Bible out loud.

I wished I could have seen the stairways to this chapel - I've heard about it and since I am creative, I admire other people's work. What a treat to learn that St. Joseph was the one that came to build this stairways and no nails. Amazing.

Story is the only word in your comment that makes sense, can you back up the rest of it?
I believe it's spiritual but not all angels are of God. Remember: "Prince of the air"!
Now I have to find this documentary!
I prayed to saint Joseph for 2 weeks straight for my house to sell and for us to get our new house. We sold with the first viewing and we got our new house & we were its first viewing. Everything lined up perfectly. The power of prayer works and I’ve been thanking the heavens since.
The power of prayer!!! Don’t tell me we can’t get this nation on track with widespread prayer!!
I agree . AMEN 🙏🏽❗

My wife and I were married there! Beautiful church!
I visited Albuquerque, New Mexico as a boy with my mother and we witnessed (and took a picture) of a Virgin Mary statue very visibly crying blood on the day of the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is the moment I knew God was real and to this day the most unexplainable thing that I’ve ever seen. Sorry if it was off topic, the statue happened to be in front of a beautiful church too and your comment jogged my memory. How great that you are your wife were able to get married there! 👍✌️
It's a chapel not a church. You got married there and don't even know the proper term. Lmao saaad.
Oh wow, how much does it cost?
Cost was a little over $5000. Paid for photographer and music separate. Prices could have changed.
@andrewlee6280 I'm a 47 year old retired Army veteran. 3 years ago on election day 2020 I had just finished voting and my wife and I were heading home. A man on a moped pulled outin front of me. I did everything I could to avoid hitting him. I swerved left, but it wasn't enough. Sadly, the man lost his life. It killed me! I've always considered myself as someone that is a protector and someone that is willing to do anything to help people. Even if it meant risking my life. Even though it wasn't my fault I still fell in a deep depression. I guess that's what brought all this on and that's when everything started. I started feeling, it's hard to explain, touching I guess you could say it was while laying in my bed. It was like a light static electricity. I know it wasn't my house because we had to stay in a hotel because of a bad water leak and had to replace 40% of the flooring and it was happening at the hotel. Then I started seeing things moving, but just slightly moving. The smoke detector in my hallway has a red light on it. While laying on my couch I started seeing that red light dance around and move crazily. I believe it was because, I guess it was a spirit, was in front of the smoke detector and distorted what I was looking at. Making it seem like it was moving. That's when I started recording. I also started noticing seeing people, beings, and spirits in reflections in mirrors and and anything reflective. I have little sliding glass doors on my fireplace. I noticed some entities in the doors and the doors were slowing opening. I sat my Galaxy A23 phone down on my coffee table to record. And it's weird because the camera on this phone is very clear. Except when I'm trying to film them. After I sat it down I noticed it was a bad angle. I picked it up to place it at a better angle. As I was going to sit it down I noticed out the corner of my eye a brown mist and this like brown oval creature with a tail just come out of the Mist. It flew down in front of my fireplace and came to sliding halt. It then reversed and flew back the exact way it came and disappeared into another brown mist. I captured the creature on video but I didn't get it coming or going out of the Mist. I was in the process of setting my phone down and was lucky I got what I did. It looks like it has a light on the end of its tail. Then I started noticing shadow people at the end of my couch. They would slowly pop their head up when they thought I wasn't looking . I started faking sleeping and would crack my eyes and could see them. They were a black that I've never seen before. They're also very hairy. I can tell by their outline and see so much hair.i caught one on video. He pokes his head out from behind my lamp. He then blows some black smoke. Goes back behind the lamp and then sticks his head back out again. And it looks like he's got something on his back the second time. They move do fast. If you're watching the video, pause it, zoom in, and use the slider thing to make it move slowly and you can see it Blow out the smoke. Last one, but I've caught do many more. I was laying on my couch with my legs like I'm about to do a situp, just trying to give you an idea as to how I was laying, with a blanket over my legs. I noticed this old woman form out my covers on the side of my right leg. She was only about 6 inches big. It's just her face and left arm. And she's smoking. At the same time a chair next to my TV had a cardboard box on it and some other things on it. Spirits entered the box and the other things on the chair. If you watch the video that's a regular cardboard box. I swear on my children's lives that it's all real. I'm an honorable retired service member. I just made a channel because I wanted to show the to my friends and family but they were to big to email or text. A friend of mine suggested that I make the channel and just tell them to go look at them there. Then I started seeing a bunch of people questioning the afterlife or the paranormal. It passes me off all the noitalls. Go to sgtjohnnywallsmith8720 on UA-cam. I'll say it again it's completely true! The afterlife is real. Spirits are real. Sorry for the long rant,but I needed to put this out there.
I am a woodworker. The amazing thing about this staircase is, to make the circular shape, the wood needs to be bent in two ways, twisted and bent to precise shapes. This is hard enough to do with steaming molds and clamping. The carpenter had none of those tools
That's what I was wondering, Praise the Lord.
What I was thinking friend. Incredible
It's veen debunked Google it
I saw the stairway. It is impossible to make. The wood is no where to be found on this earth! He had no tools when he came to the chapel. No one helped him. Nuns were not allowed to watch or go in while he was creating the stairs! He left after he finished the staircase!! Super strong! Now roped off and they have tried to keep restored! It’s beautiful to see!!🙏💋
St Joseph did this work. Wow.
I was born and raised Catholic. I still am I remember this story being told to me in Catholic school and it gets my heart every time I hear it even as a child I believe I was in sixth grade. The first time I heard it was military we traveled all over the world and the last place we lived before my dad retired. We got to go to Catholic school, cause my older brother Years older than me he had a PE instructor at the Catholic school so for money they let my little sister and I go to the elementary Catholic school and I went for two years and then went back to the public schools and a very emotional story God hears your prayersmiracles happen thank you for repeating it
My grandma graduated from Loretto Academy. In the mornings before class my grandma and her best friend Frances would go to the chapel and they would pray for each other's brothers because they were in the war (WWII). Frances's brother was in the army so my grandma prayed for him. My grandma's brother was in the marines so Frances prayed for him. They both came back alive, and many years later my grandma married the man she prayed for all those years ago, my grandpa. My aunt Frances was her maid of honor.
❤ Beautiful ❤
That's a beautiful love story!
Who did Aunt Francis marry? Not the bother in law 😢
No, my aunt Frances got married and moved out to Arkansas. She became a zookeeper. Whenever her family would come to visit she would end up taking some of us back with her for a couple of weeks. She and my grandma were always close.

We visited the chapel and all I can say, is that all these years later the power of God‘s presence can still be felt beyond measure! A reverence comes over your heart and tears fill your eyes… There’s just no way to explain it. I just wanted to touch a piece of wood that I knew my Savior touched! There are a few reinforcements to preserve it, and every part that He created in that precious little chapel is just out of reach. There are no words to convey the beauty of this masterpiece.
What a waste of a miracle
so true....when I lived in N.M. I visited often. it's beautiful.
OH WOW. I have felt very powerful positive energy. but in other churches its the oposite and you can hear ghost stuck in that church.
@@R0GUER0CK wow! That’s never happened to me… Sounds scary. I’ve definitely been in churches that I could feel bad spirits though, if that’s what you mean. I can sense it almost immediately and sure enough. If I visit for any mama time after that, I will see some drama take place that matches the spirit that I discerned. I have discerned spirits of greed, adultery, bigotry, pride, deception, jezebel (manipulation) you name it, but thank goodness I’ve also been in many churches, where there was only a feeling of genuine love for God and each other, and especially for anyone who is lost and needing to be loved and reminded that they are a treasure. Thank God for the sincere believers out there.
@@MrMagi95 how so? If it’s moving people’s hearts and even helping them to get their lives right with God… and seek God to learn His purposes and will for their life… how could it be a waste? Even if one life was changed positively it’s not a waste?
I am not a carpenter or a stone mason. I'm just a little grandma. I wanted a natural stone patio and wall around it in my backyard but I couldn't afford to hire anyone. I purchased a soft cover how-to book on brick work and stone masonry. I bought all the materials and had them delivered to my front yard. Then I sat down on the grass and cried because I had no idea what to do next. The stones were so heavy and I felt so helpless. Every day after that I went to mass but before mass, I knelt by the statue of St Joseph and prayed for his help. Little by little the work got done. Let me tell you, my muscles got big and strong! I prayed and prayed. I even told St Joseph that I would give him a statue in a prominent place in my yard. If I couldn't figure out how to do something, I asked him and I became enlightened as to how to proceed. I now have a beautiful natural stone patio and surrounding wall. Oh yes, and a beautiful statue of the Holy Family at work around a carpenter's bench.
Another project I took on for a friend - a life sized Nativity. I had gotten a lot more skills by then but I couldn't figure out how to frame a roof. I was so frustrated with that roof! Of course I went to St Joseph. In prayer, he showed me in mental pictures how to make the roof of the hut. I went and made it with no difficulty. It looked absolutely beautiful at Christmas time with my friend's beautiful statues inside it. All the neighbors stop for a look.
I love St Joseph and stop by his statue every day after mass. ❤
My mom used to refurbish old chairs and coffee and end tables, mostly that people were throwing away. She found this old rocking chair sitting on the curb, after she got it home and looked at it more closely she realised it didnt need any work, maybe some stain but something told her not to stain it, to just keep it original. She decided to keep it and put it in our living room. Over 20 years later of this chair sitting in the same spot my mom had a guy come to get her coffee table and do some work on it since she was getting too old to do it herself. This furniture expert saw the rocking chair and asked if he could look at it more closely, every single piece of wood was still tight and the chair was in perfect shape. He asked her where she got it and she said out of someones garbage. He was amazed to hear that. Turns out this chair is an original from the late 1700s to early 1800s. Theres not a single nail, screw or glue holding it together and every piece is still tight as can be, which is hard to find one like that, they usally broke at some point and would get put back together with modern equipment. He said this was the exact same way today as it was 200 years ago. He offered my mom a lot of money for it but she said no she wanted to keep it for her kids and grandkids. She wouldnt tell me how much he offered but she said it was well north of $1,000. Til this day it still sits in her living room and even occasionally gets sat in.

Almost every Carpenter across America is interested and baffled by this this is something that is truly amazing other architects come in and put the hand rails on it and there’s no main support beam it basically balances itself
shouldn't be possible
well those carpenter's aint worth a shit cuz any carpenter should know that wood glue is stronger than any mechanical fasteners once cured...especially nails...
Man created the guard rails to make us feel like we can cheat each stair
@rembo318 your right about that but do they know how to build free hanging stairs?
Look at old Japanese architecture they didn't use any nails and I'm pretty sure it was the same thing for their wooden castles
I love this story. A personal favorite. Nine days of prayer are called a Novena. Their novena was to Saint Joseph, the carpenter! Js

Thank you for bring this story to my awareness! I have a miracle story, when my daughter was a toddler we were not financially well off. I needed clothes for her and prayed somehow i would be able to afford to get her a few outfits. The next morning on my porch was a very large bag of mostly new clothes with tags on them from Nordstrom! All her size and next size up! Found out a neighbor was given theae clothes by a doctors wife to donate. She didnt even know me.
The wood used to build it isn't anything local, either. It's neat!
They’ve actually cored a piece of the wood out and basically can’t tell what kind of wood it is. Wild.

This chapel is filled with the Holy spirt. I walked over the threshold of the chapel and was knocked back with power of the Holy Ghost. I was in pure love in that chapel. I told my niece about Jesus for the first time there. All Christian should go there. It is beautiful and if you are blessed like me you will the power of this chaple❤.
All people need to go there, not just Christians
The Holy Ghost does not dwell within manmade structures. When Jesus died on the cross the curtain in the temple that separated the inner room where the spirit of God dwelt from the outer area where the people were ripped in two. This was because God was no longer separated by sin from indwelling his people. We no longer had to have a priest act as a go between for us and God where they were the only ones allowed to enter into the inner room where God's spirit was. The Holy Spirit is literally a new species created at the moment Jesus died and it is the result of God's Spirit intertwining with the Spirit of a human being. It is not some separate being or spirit hanging out in human structures. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of a man intertwined and filled with the spirit of God.
Love your message, just wanted to give a friendly reminder...
you felt the power of God in that place . Of course, not the building.👍🤔😉
But it never happened…. 😂😂😂😂
What?! The Holy spirit is a new species created after Jesus died…. Wow.
Jehovah used his Holy spirit to create everything around us that we know today. The galaxy, animals, earth, water, the other angels, Jesus, humans…ect..
I live in New Mexico and have been blessed to see this chapel its in Down town Santa Fe. The chapel is beautiful. I remember hearing that the wood was not even a wood you could get in that area at the time. It is definitely an amazing feeling to sit there and see it in all its glory!
Great comment thank u

You are right, the wood isn’t native to the area. The staircase is truly miraculous! My husband and I got married there and were allowed to take pictures on the staircase. It is so beautiful. ❤️

IT WAS MY GREAT GRANFATHER! HE COULD BUILD ANYTHING! HE BUILT ME A FABULOUS TREEHOUSE WITHOUT ANY NAILS WHEN I WAS A KID!

The Real Story
Local historian Mary Jean Cook Straw has spent years researching archives starting in the 1980s and she uncovered the mystery behind the carpenter who built the staircase (built some time during the years 1877-1881). His name was Francois-Jean Rochas, a French transplant of the mid-1800s who had settled in New Mexico around 1846. He was an established carpenter and known to many. He was hired to build the spiral staircase for the St. Vincent sanitarium [later destroyed by fire] also in Santa Fe.
Among the evidence she uncovered were documents relating to the construction, including an 1881 entry in the Sister’s Day Book explaining an expenditure of money, “Paid for wood Mr Rochas, $150.00.”
Rochas was killed in a gun fight in Dog Canyon, near Alamogordo, in December 1894. His death notice in the 5 January 1895 Santa Fe New Mexican mentions that he was known as the builder of the spiral staircase.
Thank you. I like mysteries. I dont enjoy lies.
EXACTLY!! LITERALLY took 2min to verify what you said💯Can’t stand when these shorts say BS when the answers is in their hand but they don’t use it! Hope that you and your family have a blessed one, Paul🙏
Never let facts get in the way of a steaming pile of horse crap
Awesome History! Thanks. Cathedrals would use story such as these to bring pilgrims and thus donations.
I much prefer a cool history moment than a pretend mystery. Thanks for the info!!
Another miracle is that the wood isn’t native to New Mexico as well as the type of wood isn’t found anywhere else in the world 😮🙏🏼
I doubt that
@@Turnheadcough typical doubters, no faith.
Wrong it’s completely explained and the lumber was shipped to a yard from overseas. Just look it up it’s no miracle or have anything to do with doubters. Religious zealots use it to try to prove something but they wrong.
@@rumham8979 HEAVEN HAS NO TREES STUPID
Pretty sure they could find out pretty fast what type of wood it’s made from if they let someone test it.
Thisis not crazy this is God miracle living testimony that GOD IS REAL AND ALIVE. Love and light❤❤❤❤❤
Yeah, I actually saw a documentary about this. It truly is baffling. They can't seem to verify anything at all, aside from the fact that the staircase they needed and prayed for, was built. They can't figure out who this man was, where he got the wood he used, who hired him, where did he learn his methods, why didn't he wish to be paid for his work? There are no answers, only more questions.
Regardless of who, how, and why, the work was incredibly precise and accurate. True, old-world craftsmanship that people just don't aspire to these days. We are a disposable society, we don't build things to last anymore.
Accepting gifts and never learning to fish, our species is a wounded dog, ready to be strangled out of its misery like a desperate struggling matted cur.
@@smellymala3103okkkkkk smelly
@@smellymala3103 Damn! That attitude certainly matches your username and comment. Cynical much?
I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from here. So are you saying that because this church allowed someone (who told them that he was there to repair the staircase) to fix the staircase, that the church was weak for not building it themselves ( Even though they don't have the skills...). And because they were weak, they deserve annihilation? If I'm understanding you correctly, you are quite bleak and need a hug.
@@smellymala3103Funny how people that speak like this of humanity never seem to have all that much to offer to the world, either.
My family has some neat antique furniture that most of the younger generation neither appreciates nor wants. I have an in-law that is living the disposable life!
The wood used was a type of spruce, not native to new mexico. Furthermore yet to be scientifically identified growing anywhere on earth yet. The man allowed no one to watch his work. The amount of math to establish a perfect helix staircase is mind boggling. Showed up on a donkey. Gave no name with mystery wood to build a masterpiece then left without payment.

I live in NM and have visited this chapel many times. The stairs are beautiful. Every time I see them, a sense of peace and amazement washes over me.
I remember a presence of one or more peaceful spirits when being in the chapel. It felt thick as I was walking through the air, palpable. I’m not Catholic, but I cannot deny what I experienced there.
I have visited the chapel and experienced the same feeling.
The first thing I noticed that the stairs looks so out of place with the rest of the interior architecture.

You know that building wood structure without nails are existing right? It's complicated than using nails but it is existing and well documented.
Also, the plans are left by the 1st builder. What are you high on?
🤣 I've done volunteer work for my denomination in a different state, and when I was done I didn't ride out on a donkey... I road out in a F350... It wasn't a miracle... And honestly homes were built out of wood with no nails for a very, very long time... Calling something a miracle when it wasn't a miracle at all is why people have stopped going to churches globally... It's moronic positions like that that's the reason why attendance went down to almost a 16th of what it was 40 years ago...
Christians... Converting more people to atheism than Christianity... When you see God in heaven tell him that you failed
I think he also asked for privacy while he built it, so know one saw his actual building method, so he built it in secret and left when he completed it.
Well, the builder was a compagnon. We are required to work in private and can be expelled from the guild for revealing methods of work to outsiders.
@@KurtisHord Thats interesting, I did not know this, thanks for info. Another rabbit hole I'm going to look into.
@@j.d.8160 the compagnons were considered a military secret until 1799, when it was opened to teach to the “public” and compagnon schools popped up all over France and Germany.

Closest thing to it was from Alaska!
My story is of a man who lost everything and was just in terrible conditions. He had thoughts of ending himself but ine night a light appeared and told him if you pray to me then i will bless you my child. The man looked at the light and told the light no thanks cause if you im in this mess. That morning he started feeling good about himself and his journey took a completley different turn for the better. His journey got better cause he knew what that light represented and he didnt want any parts of it. He remember his father telling him hiw he also was down and the light appeared and promised him good life if he gave himself to him. His father life was indeed better but he saud his father said that he was soending more time worshipping and trying to make sure his kids worship that h completely lost control of his journey and happiness. He told his son if you ever is down and the light or spirit appears to ignore it cause it will only appear when your journey is about to change. Dont evdr choose worshipping something outside of you cause you then give it control of you and your journey.
I got to walk up that staircase as a child. I grew up and still live in Northern New Mexico. There are many sacred places here. I've seen grass growing from a church in the winter, on the north side. GOD IS GREAT!!!

I got goose bumps listening to this. Wow the lord moves in mysterious ways. What a privilege to have been there to witness this. ❤
The sisters straight up summoned a divine carpenter!
tulpa.
Summoned is a wrong word
Totally true. I saw this on an episode of Unsolved Mysteries back in the early 90s. The best part is when other architects have looked at it and said it should not exist. There are no stabilizing beams, just the stairs in a spiral pattern that are weighted to each other.
Apparently, a sample of the wood was sent off for study. From what they could tell, the wood used to build the staircase has been confirmed to be a type of spruce which is not native to New Mexico and scientifically not identified anywhere else in the world. The closest dna-wise was a tree species found in Alaska.
Oh I know it's true. Saw it on Ancient Aliens!! 😝
@@ToeTag1968that's bazar, I really am speechless

"Build it and he will come"
"Believe and he will come"
Unknown angel.
God is great.....Amen🙏
Absolutely love that this beautiful miracle is still being retold.☺️
It's a lie though
You spelled “fairytale” wrong.
Eventhough it has been debunked for years already
Definitely not a "miracle" the Catholics are the mother of harlots the bible spoke of in revelation. Who wears purple, scarlet and drinks from the golden cup. The Catholics are pagan, and Yah will have his revenge
Retold or made up..
I heard about this a couple of years ago... gives me chills everytime I hear about it! 🙏❤️✝️ God is great!!!
k?
I absolutely love stories like this.🙏❣️
Love and revolutionary 😂 Thank's
I grew up with this story being on unsolved mysteries and various other shows talking about it through the years but not since the 90’s. It’s amazing and glad to see the next generation seeing this miracle❤✝️
Yes i remember seeing it on unsolved mysteries too.
New generations aren’t as close to God and have a very different approach and belief to God, religion, science, etc. They want undeniable facts and proofs. The very basis of faith is a belief that something is real even without proof. We have faith that the sun will rise tomorrow, rain will come at some point, our children will be adults, food will always be available, human minds are the highest of leadership on a planet and that nothing can defeat them, air will always be available, the ground is here and it’s good. Strawberry plants will produce strawberries. Etc….. No one doubts these things even with some evidence that they can change. Humans believe that even with those changes, humans will always be here on earth. Most people have faith that they will live from minute to minute because if we ever grasped how truly our fragile our life and control is; we would extend more kindness, grace, love, forgiveness, help, control, experience the hundreds of tiny things throughout each day that are actually miracles or we’d be in a ball having a mental breakdown. Christians of today are fence riders. They want to change text as to how it suits them in order to make their actions not a sin or they use God as a spare tire meaning the only time they worship God is in the bad times or the valley of life. When they are high up on that mountain, they forget God and think that they did all of it by theirselves. The mighty God in the valley is the same mighty God on the mountain. Most people don’t abandon God in their darkest hours; they abandon God when they reach success. I believe it Matthew 19:23-26 that tells us that it is easier to pass a camel through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. For all of the people who strive to be rich and successful, how are you striving to do it? Are you willing to lie, cheat, and steal from the people beneath you to be rich & successful? Honest people aren’t good at a lot of businesses because they aren’t willing to lie, cheat, or steal. We are seeing the toxicity of a culture who has taken God out of everything and replaced it with? Even if you’re not a believer, Christian principles are still the principles that are good and we choose to abide by. We all need to follow biblical principles if we are believers and pray for nonbelievers. Set a better example and live that example. We all need to ask for discernment from God and pray God shows us the path we need to follow rather than look for scientific proof.
