Chapel of the Holy Cross, Sedona Arizona
The Chapel of the Holy Cross has been
a compelling Sedona landmark since its completion in 1956. Designed
by Marguerite Brunswig Staude, a pupil of Frank Lloyd Wright, the
Chapel appears to rise out of the surrounding red rocks. The towering
cross and awesome panorama of buttes, valley and sky are a source
of inspiration inviting rest and reflection. (This site presents incredible
photo opportunities in all directions!)
The Chapel
is reached from Uptown Sedona by taking 179 south and proceeding
to Chapel Rd. where you go left and drive to the end of the
road. On our visit a guide directed us up the hill to the parking
lot. There is a steep climb from the parking area so use caution
and wear comfortable shoes. There is a parking area at the top
for the physically challenged. The Chapel is open from 9am to
5pm daily and closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, Good Friday and
Easter. There is a downstairs gift shop that is not to be missed-
unique religious articles including a large selection of unusual
crosses and rosaries of native stones.
Chapel of the
Holy Cross belongs to theparish of St. John Vianney in Sedona
and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix. Visitors are invited
to attend a brief evening prayer service on Monday evenings at
5pm.
