We will rebuild Notre-Dame
If I am a citizen of the world, today I think about Paris, my City, and Notre-Dame, this outstanding and beloved icon of Gothic architecture which was severely burned last 15th of April 2019.
Notre-Dame was taking care of Sainte-Genevieve's relic, the young lady, Patron of Paris, who protected the city in 451 by diverting Attila's Huns away from Parisian doors. She was also taking care of the woven crown of thorms which was placed on the head of Jesus during the events leading up to the crucifixion. More than 100 of unique paintings were filling its nave. Current loses remain uncertain.
It is definitevely time to mourn when we face such a lost. However, the old Parisian lady went through some many events during its 850 years old history and she will make. We will rebuild this sacred space, heart of the culture and history of my country. As Victor Hugo used to write, "the bells of Notre Dame will ring again".
