It isn't that many years since my husband and I strolled over the bridge from our hotel, and went to the morning service in Notre Dame Cathedral
What a majestic place, and yet in all its grandeur there was something gentle and peaceful about the atmosphere there. We will always hold that memory.
This terrible fire is a tragedy.
Although millions have been pledged for repairs it wil take years to rebuild.
No one yet knows the extent of the damage to contents and the building.
We join the Parisians in their sorrow.

We do. It is a tragedy indeed. When I heard the people sing the Ave Maria while watching that awful fire, I had to cry.
Love, Carolien
It has been there in that form for 850 years, but then...suddenly...everything is different. It is hard to believe. How quickly it all changed, I wonder what the new building will look like. It cannot be the same, but it can still be magnificent.
Such a tragedy to see such artisan handiwork destroyed in a few hours, that took a whole century to build. It is a reminder to us all that nothing on earth can last forever, but our soul will live on for eternity, it is worth putting effort into our soul's condition. I am praying for the people of Paris!
It was so shocking to see it burning!
Yes, we join with them in sorrow. I have fond memories of visiting several times and of the hushed atmosphere of worship there.
I could have cried when I saw the fire on the news. I've never been to France so obviously not seen the Cathedral but my heart is sad for the people of France.
Yes, a very sad event.

So very sad, Barbara. I have never visited it but thought it beautiful and magnificent.
What a shock it was seeing it on the TV. I'm not catholic, but I appreciate the architecture and the beauty.
