“A2A”, thanks Rigopoula
Will Notre Dame de Paris ever be restored to its former glory after the fire?
Of course, it will.
But for now, Notre-Dame de Paris burns, the fire apparently started at 7PM from the roof (which was under renovation at the time) and progressed quickly around there, and inside the Cathedral. We don’t know yet who or what is the cause of the fire, some speak about some workers or tourists’ negligence, the accidental thesis is widely privileged, no criminal hypothesis in on the table for now. It keeps burning out of control as of now (15/04/2019 - 9:30PM), the fire will be handled by our brave firemen as soon as possible during the night.
Of course, this fire is terrible for the Christian community, especially at the beginning of the Easters’ celebration, and for the whole French People because Notre-Dame one of our major place of worship and cultural heritage : the newschannels are 100% focused on the event as of now, and Macron atm hesitates about speaking or not to make some wood from the fire, if I might say. Honestly, thanks God he hushes for now, it’s already painful enough to see this (and I mean this).
On the other hand, it seems that many previous artifacts have been saved (but reports are confused about this), and the vitrails are for now intact. For now. Edit 10PM : journalists now mention that the fire reached them. :-(
Ultimately, whatever is burned will be rebuilt and remade, We have the means, skilled architects, engineers, masons and artists to do that (edit : and Macron spoke about hiring the bests all around the Planet if that’s not enough), and hence write their names into the glorious… and long History of Notre-Dame builders and rebuilders. It’s not the first time that Notre-Dame is widely damaged and yet renovated or even rebuilt, and nowadays each inch of the Cathedral has been photographed, measured, modelized, and analyzed in depth already.
And whatever happened, no one died, God saw to that and will provide for the rest. That’s glorious enough already, and despite what happened today, I don’t worry about the spiritual nor material future of our most famous Cathedral. :-)
26 august 1944, liberation de Paris
Edit : at 22:50PM, some officials mentioned that the fire was apparently on the way to be handled, and the structure of Notre-Dame is on the way to be saved, no, is saved now, along the 2 towers ! :-))) A lot of work to come now ! :-)
Good Job to the Parisian firemen who saved what could be saved tonight !!! :-))))))))))))))))
Edit, the day after (16/04/2019, 11PM) :
Devastation…
But somehow, hope. Despite everything, that photo is beautiful… Notre Dame’s Spirit is left intact.
Edit, the same day at 15:45PM : Promises of donations and donations already made to pay for the restoration of Notre-Dame de Paris are already close to 1 billion euros. :-)
Hell, did you know that the Basilique Saint Denis and the Cathedral de Chartres had also similar ordeals in the XIXth century, and were hence rebuild… with a metallic structure within, to avoid this to happen again ?
And yet, their Glory didn’t vanish. :-)
