The Chapel of the Holy Cross is a Roman Catholic chapel built into the buttes of Sedona, Arizona, and is run by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix, as a part of St. John Vianney Parish in Sedona. A local rancher and sculptor Marguerite Brunswig Staude, inspired in 1932 by the newly constructed Empire State Building to build such a church had to obtain special permission to build in the  Coconino National Forest. The chapel was built in 18 months at a cost of US$300,000 – completed in 1956. – Wikipedia
