Best Chapel Of The Holy Cross Tours & Trips

This unique 200-foot tall Roman Catholic chapel is carved into red rock buttes in Sedona, Arizona and part of the St. John Vianney Parish. Chapel of the Holy Cross was the idea of sculptor Marguerite Brunswig Staude, who was a student of the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It was finished in 1956 and the American Institute of Architects presented it with the Award of Honor a year later. The chapel building also features a 90-foot tall cross, beautiful stained glass window and a gift shop selling religious items.

Great tour!

It was a 8-day bus tour, I went there by myself. I was very happy beacause my partners in this tourist group were very friendly.And they helped me a lot during the trip. Also, the scenery in San Francisco was so beautiful and magnificent, especially in Golden Gate Bridge, It seemed like a picture.
