built to take them to the top level

On the last day, a stranger knocked at their door and said that he was a

carpenter who could help them build the staircase.

Page 6: They spent 9 days praying to St. Joseph, who was a carpenter.

He constructed the staircase, all by himself,

which was considered to be the pride of carpentery.

None knew how the staircase could stand by itself as it did not have a

central support.

Then the carpenter, who did not use a single nail or glue to construct this

staircase, disappeared without even waiting for his payment.

There are 3 mysteries in this case, says the spokesman of the chapel : the 1st mystery is that, until today,

the identity of this man is not known.

The second mystery – all the architects, engineers and

scientists say that they cannot understand how this staircase can

balance without any central support.

And the 3rd mystery – from where did the wood come? They have checked and found out that the type of wood used to build the staircase does not

exist in the entire region
