Firefighters have salvaged the Notre Dame Cathedral's main structure. What's next? Resurrection. French President Emmanuel Macron promised late Monday to rebuild the monumental 12th-century cathedral, one of the most recognizable buildings in Paris, while religious leaders across the world shared stories of the resilience of places of worship. All was not lost at Notre Dame. The religious statues that sat atop the cathedral were recently removed as part of a $6.8 million renovation of the towering spire that fell to the ground in Monday's blaze. Some of the sacred artifacts housed at the cathedral are safe, too, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo said Monday night on Twitter. But no matter the destruction, the spirit of what it means to be a cathedral can and does survive such catastrophes," Becky Clark, The Church of Englands director of cathedrals and church buildings, said in a statement. | | | |
