Let me preface this post by saying I’m the least religious person you’re ever apt to meet. So when numerous people told us we had to visit the Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona I was like….
Yeah.
I’ll get right on that.
But visit we did, and all I can say is…..
Wow.
It’s a strange looking place at first glance. Seeming to rise out of the rocks themselves.
(Yes, dear readers…. there will be rocks in this post)
Sitting on the top of a hill…
I admit I was breathless by the time we reached it.
(And no, not with the Holy Spirit. With my out of shape, menopausal, slightly over 40 – stop laughing! – body.)
But the view from on high?
Worth a little gasping.
It was at this point I told the husband I’d move to Arizona if we could live… there.
In that humble abode.
We hadn’t even reached the church yet and I was in love.
With what?
With the rocks!
Well…
We all know I will.
River's world..... 
Huh. That’s one weird chapel to see in such a [rocky] natural environment. It doesn’t call to me but then it doesn’t have to, does it?

Those rocks provide a nice change of scenery . . . but I wouldn’t want to live there. To rocky.

Rocks, rock! I’m also not religious but the temples here blow me away too. It’s amazing how something that looks nice makes me forget about things like ‘beliefs’.

I’m sure I enjoyed it for entirely different reasons than most. But the location was heavenly so that might count…

I think you may feel about these rocks the way I feel about trees…
That is a beautiful church. I am also not religious and am always enamored by a beautiful church 🙂

Trees! I love trees as well… but Arizona’s weren’t very blog worthy. Although if memory serves I did do a riveting section on tree bark.

Does the church serve food?
Before you move did you check out the Arizona Margaritas?!?!
One of the most remarkable churches I have ever been in was in Brasilia–you walk down into the church in the ground and the ceiling is all stain glassed just above the ground.
