Lorreto Chapel: The 130 Years Old Mystery

In the city of Santa , New Mexico, USA, a 130 years old mystery lies within the Lorreto Chapel, attracting 250 thousand visitors every year.

The Chapel was built somewhere in the 19th century. The nuns found no staircase that will lead them to the top level when the chapel was completed. They spent 9 days praying to St. Joseph, the carpenter.

On the last day, a stranger came knocking on the door, claiming that he's a carpenter who could help them built the staircase. He then constructed the staircase all by himself so know one know how he made the staircase without any central support nor using any glue or a single nail in the construction of the staircase.

The carpenter disappear without even waiting for his payment. Rumor in the city has it that the carpenter was actually St. Joseph himself, sent by Jesus to attend to the nuns' pray.

There are 3 unsolved mystery in this chapel: 1. The identity of the carpenter is unknown till present. 2. No architects, engineers or scientists can understand nor explain how the staircase can balance without any central support. 3. Where did the wood came from as the wood used in building the staircase does not exist in the entire region.

Icing to the cake, the staircase has 33 steps, THE AGE OF JESUS CHRIST!! Could it be a miracle?
