The Chapel of the Holy Cross was inspired by local rancher and sculptor Marguerite Brunswig Staude, who envisioned the striking structure as a tribute to faith and artistry. Her initial attempt to begin construction in 1932 was halted by unforeseen events, delaying progress for over two decades. It was not until 1956 that the chapel's construction finally commenced, bringing Staude's visionary design to life and creating an iconic landmark that seamlessly blends into the natural landscape surrounding Sedona, Arizona.
