4. The mysterious staircase of God in the Loretto Chapel
There is a beautiful legend in one Christian church in New Mexico. The nuns claim that God himself had a hand in the construction of the Loretto Chapel. French architect Antoine Moli designed and built a spiritual school for children. But he did not manage to finish the staircase, without which it was impossible to use the building. The staircase was eventually built by a traveler who was sheltered by the nuns. Delicate and light, without a single nail. The staircase seemed to float in the air. Although the structure looked rather shaky, in fact it was absolutely motionless. More than a dozen people could be on the staircase at the same time, and it would not creak anywhere. The railings were made later.
