Forget nationality or religion, everyone on Earth has reason to grieve today. To the French; "Je vous adresse mes sincères condoléances." The Notre Dame, an 856-year-old treasure, is burning down.
this tragedy goes beyond religion, beyond nationality. it doesn’t matter what you believe in or how you were raised or where you were born. we all should mourn this loss. Notre Dame, i’ve never met you, but i hope we’re able to rebuild you so i and so many others finally can. pic.twitter.com/H3i4kAi6kI
The Notre-Dame is the symbol of France; the Eiffel Tower is little more than a century old and cannot challengethis building for pride of place in the hearts of the French.
Notre-Dame has stood tall above Paris since the 1200s, housing many works of medieval mastery.
When I was a student in Paris I used to go look at Notre Dame and imagine the generations who worked on it without seeing it complete. A heartbreaking day for Paris and all it represents.
Last year, the Catholic Church in France successfully appealed for funds to save the 850-year-old Gothic building, which was crumbling. Notre Dame was undergoing a $6.8 million renovation when the devastating fire broke out
This is spire that toppled in the fire. Created during extensive 19th century renovation of Notre Dame. What a loss. pic.twitter.com/ziziE7AYVb
My parents are in Paris at the moment and took this photo of Notre Dame only hours before the catastrophic fire took hold. One of the last photos of this wonderful and historic building. Incredibly sad. #notredamepic.twitter.com/3CoGN9cMYJ
Still can’t believe this happened. I was just at Palm Sunday mass at Notre Dame yesterday. It was my favorite place in Paris❤️ #NotreDamepic.twitter.com/sgVyNNsLrh
Built in 1163. Took 200 years to complete. It survived revolutions, plagues and world wars. And now, the evening of April 15th 2019, the Notre Dame in Paris burns. All history gone.
The world stands helpless as history disappears before our eyes. 💔
