It is unbelievable to see such a famous cathedral go up in flames, and interestingly, during the Christian Holy Week. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven." - Matthew 5:16
It is an architectural marvel. "...5,000 oak trees across 52 acres to build the beams, trusses, and reinforcements for the stone structure and to hold up the roof’s 200-metric-ton lead cladding..." states one source. That ancient assemblage is lost forever.Edited by - Chops124 on April 17 2019 8:39:35 PM
