Many Relics Saved from Notre Dame Cathedral Fire

The embers are still warm and losses being assessed, but there is some good news surrounding the devastating Notre Dame Cathedral fire. Many major, irreplaceable artifacts were saved, thanks to the bravery of some citizens and firefighters and the fact that some had been removed as part of an ongoing renovation project. In addition, nearly a billion dollars in donations have been promised for the restoration of the 850-year-old church. “It’s a bit of a miracle; we are very relieved,” said a cathedral spokesman to a French news channel.
