Notre Dame cathedral in Paris is burning and my heart is breaking. Awful.
Notre-Dame de Paris is one of the most iconic cathedrals in the world. Construction began in 1160 and it was mostly finished by 13th century’s end. It was desecrated during the French Revolution but stood tall through all. One of Catholicism’s most beautiful sites — burning down.
The tower collapsed. My God.
Here’s the video of Notre Dame cathedral’s spire collapsing amidst the flames.
Tragic to see this happen any time.
Absolutely heartbreaking to see it happening during Holy Week.

Please keep your conspiracy theories to yourselves. Try waiting for facts — there’s no need to fan baseless metaphorical flames when literal ones are still raging.

"Good news: all the works of art were saved. The treasure of the Cathedral is intact, the Crown of thorns, the Holy sacraments." #NOTRE_DAME
Praise God.
Praise God.
A scintilla of good news.
