On our way to Ojo Caliente, we stopped at the Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe. The chapel is known for its helix-shaped staircase (nicknamed "Miraculous Stair"), which rises 20 feet (6.1 m) to the choir loft while making two full turns, all without the support of a newel or central pole. The carpenter appeared after 9 days of prayer by the nuns, then disappeared never to be named.The staircase, built in 1878, is no longer strong enough to hold a choir like it did for many years.The altar. We lit prayer candles.
