The first time I saw The Chapel of the Holy Cross was in 2019 when 
It was gorgeous in April too.
It is set high up on the mountain and has a great view of Sedona
and the surrounding mountains
The Church of the Holy Cross has an interesting history. It was the idea of Marguerite Brunswig Staude. In 1932 she was inspired by the newly completed (1931) Empire State Building.
She first asked Lloyd Wright, son of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, to help her design the church in Hungry. When WWII broke out, the plans stopped and later Marguruite decided to build the church in her native Arizona and hired Richard Hein as the architect. The chapel was completed in 1956.
The Church of the Holy Cross is a small Roman Catholic church. There is a striking crucifix right at the windows.

It is quite a hike to the church depending on where you park. They did have shuttles for those that needed or wanted it. My suggestion would be to drive to the top and see if there is parking. We took the first one we found and there were many closer spots, unless of course you want some exercise too!

Visitors are welcome and this church is a top tourist attraction in Sedona so be prepared to see many other people from all over the world visiting the church with you.
