Description
The Chapel of the Holy Cross is a Roman Catholic chapel built into the mesas of Sedona, Arizona, which was inspired and commissioned by sculptor Marguerite Brunswig Staude. Richard Hein was chosen as project architect, and the design was executed by architect August K. Strotz, both from the firm of Anshen & Allen. The chapel is built on Coconino National Forest land; the late Senator Barry Goldwater assisted Staude in obtaining a special-use permit. The construction supervisor was Fred Courkos, who built the chapel in 18 months at a cost of US$300,000. The chapel was completed in 1956.
The Chapel is one of the main tourist attractions in the Sedona area. It is open from 9am to 5pm daily and closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, Good Friday and Easter.

Visited Sedona many years & it is beautiful country out there, but missed this. Nice shot...
Stunning shot! Very beautiful and great POV. Well done
I hope we get to see inside too!
Ah Sedona... how I miss that place... Next time you're there, check out Jerome nearby...!
Oh wow yeah I've been here. You have captured the colours beautifully.
I'm very familiar with this, having passed it many times while driving around to visit my family in the area. I never have understood how it could be open every day except the high holy days. LOL Stunning shot and the rock color is so true.
amazing!
We were in the neighborhood when we were there last spring, and I remember talking about this place, but we never stopped to get a good look. Outstanding capture!
S-U-P-E-R-B! I thank you for this one. I want to see more from you. 5+!
