I think you forgot to mention that the Sisters are making a Novena to St. Joseph. I believe that carpenter is St Joseph

[@josephusregis9402]

The host did not mention about the novena of Saint Joseph but he did mention about the nun praying the novena. However, I do believe that it was the carpenter Saint Joseph who built the spiral staircase.

Inspired me as 20yo to become a carpenter.

Thank you for this video

[@dalebergman5548]

Reading the book now. That's why I'm on this site. Checking out The Staircase. Beautiful. Would be interesting to know if there are any other staircases built in that time period surviving today. On my Bucket List to see !!! KMB

[@marylynnmazzocco5367]

St Joseph perhaps?

[@szaki]

The carpenter’s name was Francois-Jean Rochas, an expert woodworker who came from France and arrived in Santa Fe around 1880. He may have even been commissioned to work on the chapel by Bishop Lamy, as were other French and Italian masons and carpenters.

[@Barrettcoronalight]

Why did he only build one staircase like one? Why can’t you see his work all over the world? Why can’t you find that type of wood anywhere in the world? How is it holding up without nails, screws or glue?

[@szaki]

@@Barrettcoronalight I heard, some of his work is found around Santa Fe, built some fine furniture etc... You don't want nails and screws in the wood, because wood moves a lot, shrinks ,expends with temperature and moister. In the long run, would would crack, fracture where nails were used.

[@kristenstudebaker814]

Why didn't you mention St. Joseph?

[@Happy_HIbiscus]

🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@note2owns]

Originally the stairs did not have railings.

[@ADVENT_MarkPtak]

A Workman's Prayer to St. Joseph: Glorious St. Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, please obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my inclinations; to work with gratitude and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop, by means of labor, the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever recoiling before weariness or difficulties; to work, above all, with purity of intention, and with detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account which I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary, all after your example, O Patriarch St. Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death. Amen.

[@lorrainericardo8680]

it was St Joseph the Carpenter ,,

[@gordonharper9126]

Take the hand roll off!!! It wasn't built with a hand well to begin with.

[@sharjeelahmed7911]

I just want to know... have anyone checked if this staircase is floating or not as to hide it it's screwed on the upper and lower end. ??? just curious...?

[@alexrod6304]

It is known there are no screws or bolts on this staircase, pure wood everywhere. Handrailing was added by nuns after some years.

[@louisdemm1758]

I'd like to think the carpenter was some smelly eccentric genius.

[@almeggs3247]

The wood came from Israel!!!

[@gordonharper9126]

Handrail. Lol

[@alexrod6304]

Handrail was then added by the nuns. It was only staircase without any railing and still has no central support column.

[@jamesgabaldon1239]

Spooky music and all the mysterious questions? Where did the wood come from???? Who cares. Wooden dowels and glue, no nails needed.
