Paris mourns its 'Lady' after Notre Dame inferno

Sarah Virot crossed herself as she looked up at the 850-year-old Gothic masterpiece, whose name means Our Lady of Paris. The cathedral lost its iconic spire and much of its medieval latticework roof in the blaze. "For me, it's much more than stones, it's a part of myself that is burning," said Virot, 32, who works for a Christian association in the capital.

Emmanuel Macron: We will rebuild Notre Dame 01:12Enduring symbol of FranceThe nation's beleaguered president had been due to deliver a speech Monday night addressing the demands of the"Yellow Vest" movement, an uprising that began as a protest at rising fuel prices, but has grown into calls for a complete overhaul of France's social safety net.

Meh

Were they moved by the burning of 3 historical black churches in Louisiana? I can't tell.

TALK OF CHRISTIAN THINGS WHEN THE BELL OF BA'AL NO LONGER RINGS

Radical Islamo Nazis were so moved that they used the burning of Notre Dame Cathedral to trash Christians of all faiths.

J Holiday's ballad prophetic. Used the Grand Cathedral as the venue backdrop. Wish the flames could have suffocated!

Why aren't you reporting on all the Muslim celebrations across the internet?

Except for the Muslims who are laughing

Amen..we are all in this world together!

GOD.....one more sharing.....here at your planet one animal is there.....People has given him name DOG ......If you will reverse the Letter in your name :-)):-)) They use this name as an abusive word...even though this animal is very loyal and nice.

GOD..................Are you listening............at one of your planet...... People are fighting......Killing each other.....to show that they are having original GOD......their Path is superior......Please LISTEN asap.

GOD......You have never created any Country, Religion or Race.....But see. ....People has divided your LAND based on 'Retaining their history'........They are fighting & Killings each other based on their own creation of differentiation. ....GOD....Are you listening

Dear Brother/Sister....What I feel ....we shouldn't get stuck in historical data....let it be used only for information technology industry. GOD ? .....When we start MOVING in front of him in the Morning......When in the Night We watch So many GOD in the SKY......Twinkle..Twinkle

GOD........... appears as ALLAH to Muslims...........GOD to Christian...........SHIV to Hindu.......Brothers & Sisters.

GOD has never created any Country, Religion or Race.These are all Man-made things.Dear Brother/Sister, Please think about it seriously.This is the Reality that's why Whole World should be considered as our family.

These guys look moved

Moved more by the sex abuse by the church.

Some things bring people together regardless of religion, identity, and the land that we're standing on.

Liberals should be ecstatic, they love to see history destroyed.

Someone from CNN or MSNBC should set up a gofundme page for Notre Dame so the average American could contribute to rebuilding. It has brought much for all of us as well. I think we could raise a lot of money.

False.

Muslims are Jews were laughing about it

absolutely. unfortunately there will always be haters who gut-blame the fire on minorities

Mourning a 800 year old world heritage has very little to do with religion.

We Afghans moved more than anyone else. As we were in tears when Jihadists funded by CIA/MI6 first destroyed Afghan museum in Kabul and then Buddhas in Bamian

“We all should be as we are humans”

Notre Dame fire: Macron promises to rebuild, but Paris monument suffers ‘colossal damage’The spire, roof and interior frame of the city’s most-visited monument were reduced to ash. Very sad that such a historic monument has suffered this much damage. At least the desire and effort to rebuild will help us move on and stay strong. 😢😢😢 Stop rebuilding monuments like the Planet Earth is eternal. That's not what gothic architecture was all about, nor what the medieval master masons thought about building. Start from scratch, with new technologies. That's what gothic architecture was about: structural innovation.
