"Midtown Manhattan cathedral engulfed in flames: 'Irreplaceable' 160-year-old Orthodox Christian church is consumed by fire" A 160-year-old Orthodox Christian cathedral in New York has been completely destroyed after a huge fire tore through it on Sunday
The blaze broke out at the Serbian Cathedral of Saint Sava on 25th Street in Manhattan's Flatiron district at around 7pm.
It is not known how the fire started, though it is believed to have broken out on the first floor of the building before consuming the interior and roof.
An FDNY spokesman said that nobody was believed to be inside the building at the time the fire started, and there have been no reports of injuries.

Trump! lead the way in restoring his Christian Landmark-—get followers to pitch in with funds to help this group. My bet—Turks or Muslims set the fire.

Oh, that’s dreadful. I’m glad nobody was inside, though.

Seriously? A building vs 3000 lives? You need to catch a clue.

I “think” this means it did worse damage to the building.

Every neighborhood I live in has a church go up in flames. Now this, last time St. Agnes.

Prayers up.
I begin to suspect this is not an accident, as it happened on Orthodox Easter.

Nah. I just seem to always be around Catholic tragedies, unfortunately.
