Thank you for your visit, and the very informative link. I have added another one above, with perhaps the best bit of news.. The Crown of Thorns was saved.
You can destroy a building, but you can't destroy a church..
Thank you for your thoughts,, I have visited here a few times now, and it means so much more when you know the place. It will be rebuilt, maybe not in our lifetime, but it will rise again.
Merci pour vos pensées, je suis déjà venu ici plusieurs fois, et cela signifie beaucoup plus quand vous connaissez l'endroit. Il sera reconstruit, peut-être pas de notre vivant, mais il va remonter.
Peter! thank you for posing this.!! Ive watched this news most of the day today, my news in last few minutes here states that the "main structure" was saved !!! I saw the news shots when the lovely Spire collapsed. so so sad indeed. as the rest of the world, I wonder if the work being done on the building has anything to do with this destruction? Im sure investigations are under way... and what adds to the sadness is that its Christian's week to Celebrate this very special season / week !! KInd wishes , Sarah
Thank you so much for your kind comment.
I don't know how much news you guys get over there, but according to latest news here it was 'an accident' and almost certainly to do with the renovation work.
The best news is that the Crown of Thorns is safe, as is the organ, and some other relics. Certainly worth a special thought this Friday.
As I said to Steve, "You can destroy a building, but you can't destroy a church.."
