The Chapel of the Holy Cross, located in Sedona, AZ is one of the most beautiful chapels you will see during your vacation. Meant to spiritual reflection and meditation, services are not a part of this chapel, so you can visit anytime and not have to worry about interrupting activities taking place. Most people visit just to see its beauty and admire the architecture.
Designed by Marguerite Brunswig Staude, a former student of Frank Lloyd Wright, the chapel is built between two rocks. It has a large stained glass window that creates a beautiful variety of color within its walls. It also has a 90-foot cross that can be seen from miles away. For those who are interested in the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and his students, this is one building you should include on your tour. Because the structure makes use of the natural landscape, you will be able to see up close how the chapel was constructed.
Because there are many structures that take advantage of the natural landscape in states like Arizona, you will be able to see who different architects and builders have carved their own imprint into the rocks, mountain sides, and other items found in nature. Not only are these beautiful to look at, they are also functional and cost effective. No vacation to Arizona is complete without a trip to the Chapel of the Holy Cross. Even if you aren't a religious or spiritual person, you will enjoy the majestic beauty of this chapel.
