(OSV News) — Notre Dame Cathedral will get its spire back by the end of 2023, more than four years after it was devastated by a fire. But to reopen the beloved symbol of France by Dec. 8, 2024, three conditions need to be met.
These conditions are currently being carried out: cleaning and restoration of the interior of the building; restoration of masonry and collapsed vaults; and restoration on the missing spire and frameworks, which, according to the newest statement from the “Rebuild Notre Dame” committee, “is in progress, both on the Ile de la Cité and in the workshop.”
Ile de la Cité is a famous island on the Seine River, one of two natural islands in Paris and the heart of the French capital. It’s there where Notre Dame is located and where hundreds of shocked Parisians watched as flames consumed the cathedral’s medieval roof April 15, 2019.
Work to secure and consolidate the Paris cathedral began the day after the fire, April 16, 2019, and ended in the summer of 2021. After two years dedicated to securing the building, project studies, followed by the preparation and awarding of contracts, “restoration work is in full swing,” according to the French committee.
Simultaneous cleaning of walls, painted decorations and vaults (with a total area of 452,000 square feet), which is done by numerous craftsmen, “is well advanced,” the statement of “Rebuild Notre Dame” state........

Was another Islamic attack on French Cathedrals. There have been dozens.
Dear Macron:
There are no shortage of Domestic, Islamist Terrorists in France.
Thought you should know.....
Notre Dame also attracted an unprecedented surge of generosity in the history of French philanthropy, with 340,000 donors from 150 countries raising $929 million in donations.
Wow, almost a billion dollars raised. Good to see.
I don’t know about Islamic attacks on French Cathedrals, but it appears to be a faithful restoration of a national monument rather than as was in discussion soon after the fire, a redesign of very questionable worth.
Watched a documentary on the restoration work, very interesting and was good to see they were restoring it to what it was.
Can you provide link to that documentary?
“These guys seem happy...”
They are absolutely gay with joy.
They omitted “set” in the headline.
It was set on fire, e.g. arson.
It's a safe bet that their forbears did not come from Normandy, Picardy, Flanders or Alsace.
There are no shortage of Domestic, Islamist Terrorists in France.

And it’s only going to get worse until the truly native French get smart and bring the guillotines out of storage!
The media coped so hard to make sure we knew there was no way ever this was arson, let alone an islamic attack, even though there was clear video of the terrorist on the roof of the cathedral moments before the fire began.
Link to anything to substantiate your claim? I’m not saying it didn’t happen....just want to see what you saw.

That video I posted is not the exact video I remember, I’m pretty sure the others have been scrubbed. I’m certain there is another video of that man running around on the top of the building before the fire began.
