"For the first time in memory, there will be no Crown of Thorns on display at the fire- ravaged Notre Dame Cathedral today."
Notre Dame—last seen worldwide in heartbreaking photos with flames demolishing its 800-year-old roof and spire—overshadows Good Friday 2019 and will be remembered forever.
People who may have pictures of the Cathedral should cherish them because Notre Dame will never be the same when President Emmanuel Macron completes its rebuilding, promised within a five-year span.

“The United Nations says it will be supporting the French government in rebuilding fire-ravaged Notre Dame Cathedral through its Paris-based cultural agency UNESCO “in whatever way they feel is most necessary.” (CTV News, April 16, 2019
"Macron, who according to his biography, converted to Catholicism at age 12, now self-identifies as an agnostic.
"New Age UNESCO is more interested in the preservation of culture rather than religion.
"The religion of the United Nations is neither Catholic nor Christian, it has its own ‘Green’ Religion.
"Nor should anyone take hope that Pope Francis offered his support to Macron in a personal telephone call.
“Francis sent an official message of condolences to Paris Archbishop Michel Aupetit, in which he called Notre Dame the “architectural gem of a collective memory.” (CTV)
Notre Dame is firstly a Catholic Cathedral dedicated to Mother of God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and a Temple of God where untold millions fled to worship over the centuries, much more than an “architectural gem of a collective memory.”
“Pope Francis has phoned French President Emmanuel Macron to express his solidarity over the fire at Notre Dame, hours after the Vatican culture minister offered art experts who could possibly advise on reconstruction efforts. (CTV)
"President Macron says he will make Notre Dame “more beautiful than ever”, and that his rebuilding will be complete within five years." . . .
