Praise God! In retrospect, this is true indeed...but McAuley is a long time resident of Paris and goes into detail about what it was like actually being in the city and watching it burn in real-time..The wave of emotions...
We are only just seeing a few interior shots, it is surprising how much seems to have survived, I was expecting total destruction.
Evidence in the Hebrew: Seine [סן] reverses to nes [נס], "miracle":
נֵס ᴵ m.n. 1 standard, ensign, flag. 2 signal, sign. [Together with Aram. נִסָּא, Syr. נִיסָא (= signal, sign), of uncertain origin. According to several scholars borrowed from Akka. nīshu (= something lifted), from nashū (= to lift), corresponding Heb. נשׂא. cp. נֵס ᴵᴵ. cp. also נסס ᴵ.]
נֵס ᴵᴵ m.n. PBH miracle, providential event, wonder. [Prob. sense enlargement of נֵס ᴵ.] Derivatives: נִסִּי, נסס ᴵᴵ.
Today [Nisan 10] - another word play on nes/Seine [ניסן - Nisan] - was the traditional date for the passing of Miriam, Moses' sister.
Notre Dame ---> "Our Lady" i.e. Mary (also Miriam)
What's up is down and what's down is up.
It's like with the little lander on the Moon. It crashed, meaning it crashed out after a very long journey. Fast asleep on the Sea of Serenity (sea of calm)... dreaming.
What about all the irreplaceable relics and artifacts that were inside?
