Thinking of the people of Paris. Notre Dame Cathedral.
6 years ago
General
By now most have seen the news of the famed Cathedral. Though I live in the middle of the US I am so choked up fighting the tears watching it on fire. It stood for centuries, and such a part of human history.
What hurts the most is how many moments that building survived. A French revolution, two world wars, its been a witness to many things in human history for nearly 700 years and nearly two centuries longer during construction.
I pray for how Paris can save as much as the building as possible and rebuild from the remaining structure. Vive la France! ),:

It's sad to think that it might even be intentional...

Thankfully it seems it wasn't and an accident during renovation. I understand the thought though. Christianity's holiest week is this week and one of its biggest symbols burned. No matter how it happened its a massive loss for the world as one of its oldest and one of the most beautiful landmarks.

Yeah hoping the rebuild goes well now that we know the main structure is still sound. Looking for a way to donate to its rebuild though I know people around the world are thinking the same.

Thankfully looks like they will be able to rebuild it from the remaining structure which is thankfully also is the main focal points those two stone towers and the rest of the stone structure.

That's a real relief. Hopefully the Dedo, the famous little gargoyle is okay there.
