The bricks have fallen down,
But we will rebuild with smooth stones;
The sycamores have been cut down,
But we will replace them with cedars.
~ Isaiah 9:10
The historic and beautiful cathedral of Notre Dame reopened in Paris, France, this weekend. It displays the triumph of human spirit, skill, and determination over the raging flames that nearly wrought total destruction upon this iconic religious, cultural, and architectural treasure in 2019.
World leaders gathered for the inaugural Mass inside Notre Dame, including President-Elect Donald Trump. The photos show a brightly gleaming restoration that highlights the beauty of the cathedral's interior. The ceremonies included recognition of the Paris firefighters who risked their lives to save France's ancient and beloved landmark. That worthy tribute was especially heartwarming to see.
