Kilmainham jail houses one of the most famous staircases in Ireland. Although the gaol has played host to many films, perhaps the best known of these is the scene in which crime boss “Mr Bridger” is applauded by inmates having received news of the successful heist in “The Italian Job”. The jail itself is visible several times during this trailer for “The Italian Job”:

The Loretto Chapel’s Miraculous Staircase

Many of you are aware of the famous staircase at the Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, New Mexico. As the story goes, a group of nuns discovered a serious flaw in their newly constructed chapel: there was no means of access to the choir loft! Various carpenters had been asked to solve the problem, but there wasn’t sufficient room to build a stairway. So the nuns prayed a novena to St. Joseph, and on the last day of the novena, their prayers were answered. A man showed up and built a beautiful circular staircase. He left before the sisters could pay him. They did not even know his name. The staircase, it turns out, has no visible means of support that is readily understood by engineers. The origin of the wood is uncertain: the only thing known for sure is that the wood isn’t native to the region. Only wooden pegs were used: no nails. There are exactly 33 steps - one for each year of Our Lord’s earthly life. The nuns believed that St. Joseph himself showed up and built the staircase.

Now the miraculous staircase has some interesting detractors. As to the identity of the carpenter, there is an interesting theory
