The Rose Windows survived
Amazing. Another bit of good news concerning Notre Dame: all three Rose Windows survived:
Haunting new photos of Notre Dame's interior reveal how it survived the inferno after it was revealed three of its iconic Rose Windows escaped damage, as detectives probe the renovation work which may have led to the blaze.
The pictures revealed the golden crucifix and altar were preserved amongst the smouldering rubble after the roof was destroyed by Monday night's fire.
Three 'irreplaceable' Rose Windows, which date to the 13th century and were last night feared to have melted or exploded, were intact.

God bless!
"The pictures revealed the golden crucifix and altar were preserved amongst the smouldering rubble after the roof was destroyed by Monday night's fire."
I wonder what happened to the Novus Ordo dinner-table...
Praise God for this miracle!
A miracle. To be in that otherwise dimly lit cathedral on a sunny day with those windows aglow is truly one of life's great glories. May I live long enough to see them once again. May this fire rekindle a new spirit in us.
Most of the stone vaulting survived too. The roof burned off, taking the spire with it, but the rest of the church is basically intact, minus smoke and water damage.
Notre Dame will be repaired. I hope the French take this as a sign and return to their faith.

Was the fire caused by hostility, diversity, or some kind of freak accident?

Praise God!
All things considered, that is remarkably little damage below the roof.
What a tender mercy. God hasn't given up on the West, and neither can we.
Dues vult.
The interior is almost completely intact.
There is your miracle Atheists. There is your proof. Where is our God now you ask? He is right here.
Thank God, I was lucky enough to have visited it before the fire. May we rise to such great heights again.
Amen
I propose Mecca and Medina to share the same fate...
Thank you for sharing the photos.
> There is your miracle Atheists. There is your proof.
Sometimes Nate beats me to it.
Surely a miracle of God's providence.
Sorcha Faal noted: "the French intelligence agency Directorate-General for External Security (DGSE) issued a global alert through The International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) requesting immediate international aid to apprehend suspected members of a radical ISIS terror cell discovered in Paris—and is an international aid request coming at the exact same time Notre Dame (the second most holy site in all of Christendom after the Vatican itself) met its fiery end after over 800-years of life on this Earth and ascended into Heaven. "
The Lord protects His own. Now, to work...this time, with fire-resistant materials they didn't have in the Middle Ages.
Kyrie Eleison! He is Risen!
Stone ceiling, wood roof, and the building doesn't have a dome.
Stupid reporters, can't even be bothered to look up the right terms.
Also of note: the organ appears to have made it through relatively unscathed. Like, not even any water damage. Deo Gratias!
This is an incredible job by the firefighters. Just a few hours ago French officials were reporting the building as completely destroyed.
Now the structure stands. The relics and paintings were nearly all rescued. Somehow, some way, the Rose windows survived (incredibly). The stained glass windows in the nave survive. The Great Organ is covered in debris but took no damage from fire or water.
This is not only a testament to the firefighters, but medieval architecture. While the upper, wooden roof fell the lower stone roof did not.
And it was designed in just such a way as to protect the Cathedral from fire. 100s of years later and it saved the Cathedral from exactly that.
Amazing.
Hebrews 10:26-29:
If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?
.
Matthew 7 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
6 “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.
13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
Someone commented elsewhere that there would likely be many video cameras on site. Wondering if these could reveal some crucial info.
Macron's tweet about the rebuilding being molded after the Diversity God is the worst optics I have seen in a long time. heartiste talks about the brazenness of the cabal's psy ops. If Macron represents the modern France, it is doomed.
(Incidentally one of those irreplaceable rose windows was, in fact, replaced...but eh, it's not like you'd WANT to...)
I have to agree with Nate. The interior is in remarkably good condition considering the roof is gone. I thought the damage would be worse than it appears to be.
Why is the image "haunting?" Aren't haunting photos usually taken before a tragedy? Like a Russian building climber?
@Nate they'll rationalize it away. They want to not believe
I am in awe.
My husband and I were wondering if perhaps God hadn't decided France needed some cleansing fire, but now perhaps we have God thwarting the evil one and putting hope into His church in France.
I pray this fire starts a revival in the hearts and minds of France's people.
Good helps those who help themselves. Those 12th century stonemasons weren't dummies. The design of the cathedral helps minimise the damage when the roof catches fire. When you're building for eternity, you assume bad shit will happen, eventually.
In some ways, it was a more civilized time.
That picture could start a movement. I hope that it does.
Great comment Nate.
God is good!
Seeing native wealthy French step up in the funding could also be a key development. There will be a hidden battle hear to establish who gets to 'put their fingerprints' on the renovation.
What the West needs is disentanglement from foreign money, usually due to massive debt and pure greed. If France goes this way, and the no-go zones receive prime attention, cutting off their financing with close monitoring of outside contributions is essential.
Very relieved the interior is largely intact.
But no damage to the building can change the most important reality:
“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.”
"In some ways, it was a more civilized time."
In the past, folks were a bit more acquainted with the truth.
Unlike the radical dingbats walking loose today.
BTW a group of millionaires intends to support repairs. With them paying for it with any luck it won't be "diversified".
"@Nate they'll rationalize it away. They want to not believe"
indeed they will. And remember that when they claim they want proof. They don't want proof. they don't want evidence. they want to spew evil.
Until recently, relative to the age of Notre Dame, all lighting came from candles, torches and oil lamps. Seems amazing that it didn't catch fire long ago.
Last night, I was so deeply angry about this. Then, when the stories about the men who saved the relics came out, I was moved. Now, seeing this, I am humbled by God's Mercy. I pray this re-kindles the spirits of the people of France, that they see this as the warning it is, and that they return to the Lord with all their hearts. Deo Gracias
God telling us He will burn away the chaff and His foundation will stand and that we will rejoice anew.

Deo gratias, for the miracle granted to us. Let the faithful have the zeal to rebuild for His glory. Then grant us the fortitude to find those responsible and submit them to Your justice.
@32 - Those 12th century stonemasons weren't dummies
If the book "Pillars of the Earth" is accurate, the stonemasons and other builders of that time were extremely skilled!
The candles next to the altar aren't even melted...
The only thing to worry about now is the "restoration" led by Macron and anti-pope Francis.
A miracle and a message. The cross stands in the middle of the church untouched, surrounded by soot, ash and rubble. How like our culture today, destruction and detritus all around us. But if we keep faith in God, we can prevail, and revive Christendom.
There is your miracle Atheists. There is your proof. Where is our God now you ask? He is right here.
This.

I wonder about the restoration. ND de Paris is the city's most visited tourist site. Will they be stupid and crass enough to "build something new and better," as I heard an American tourist say yesterday? IT's hard to put anything past these Philistines, but knowingly changing the #1 tourist attraction in the city? The Germans restored the Frauenkirche in Munich to its former condition. You cant tell--or I can't--that what you see there is not original, except for the 1945-vintage photos just inside the Great West Portal. Amazing. The French can do that. Surely they will.
@43 Silent Draco: "Deo gratias, for the miracle granted to us. Let the faithful have the zeal to rebuild for His glory. Then grant us the fortitude to find those responsible and submit them to Your justice."
Amen.
As they stated "we no longer have the technology to go to the moon", we certainly don't have the faith to rebuild Notre Dame - and the latter statement is 100% truthful.
Just was at my mother's and saw her today's local daily newspaper edition: no mention of Notre Dame. Appearently they had finished accepting stories yesterday too early for that, and didn't bother to go out of their way when something important happened after curfew. No wonder they sink to irrelevancy…
In my personal reaction, I observe a change: as a mixed evangelical / pentecostal Christian, I used to be pretty critical of old organized religious symbols like Notre Dame, supposing them to be symbols of what I would now call the ‘cucked church’. And I don’t believe in the relics, so I looked down on those who do. No more of that: no matter where Catholicism stands today, this is part of the genuinely Christian heritage, and therefore something I root for, independently of how it may have been abused in the past. Those pictures of the light on the cross in the ruined church are truly mind-boggling. In response, I humbly bow my head in prayer.

Hi Unuathorized.TV folk..
Any chance of finding out what the name of the cc or PayPal billing agent is??
Is USCREEN.TV the video hosting outfit used? (Trying to identify an unrecognized charge)
Thanks!
And more good news. The weather cock which housed a part of the Crothof thorns as well as relics from saints Denis and Genevieve were intact. In fact the weather cock can be restored.
One of the billionaires owns Louis Vuitton. Their shop windows on the Champs Elysées are covered with something like a very strong chain mail to protect them against violence. As a result you cannot see the displays. Before you get in they check your bags for weapons etc. The temples of Mammon are having a big problem, too, at the other end Paris.

Yes. As explained in this tweet, the stone vaulting held most of the fire. The aerial photos made it look as if the church was burning to the ground inside the walls, but most of it was trapped up in the vaulting.
Even so, it is amazing that the stone vaulting withstood the collapse of hundreds of tons of burning beams, many of them 12X12" or more in size. Testament to a time when architecture was not just minimalized risk calculations, but serious skill and workmanship at every level.
Roses!
I'm still brokenhearted about the entire current event. Thank you for DS.
Who can have done something so terrible, so awful. Evil hates truth, beauty, hates any light and any joy.
The 'Rose of Sharon' in this Easter season, of course its not the rose of Sharon its a bible reference I think of, so many amazing versions on stained glass, glass art!
This art that was almost to totally lost in how earth; clay crumbles but the timing, symbolism and call to revival for Jesus Christ is here and it was a horrendous loss to that country and their feeling of safety and how so many love history or those historical pieces of art, such talent and planning went into it all, perhaps, every brushstroke, or every flame to temper and fashion its settings that created amazing glorify art, holy art, set aside!
Evil satan thinks this will ruin Easter, that failure, that loser!

The comments are heartening
These French and Italian fashion houses are often accused by YouTube InfluencersTM of racism for having high security. Don't know what kind of alchemy makes a bag check a racist policy but I doubt the houses will change for people who just kick tires. Besides, if I'm going to a shop I want to know I'm safe, the clerks are safe, and my items are safe if they're in the shop for repairs. Duh. Clothes should be vibrant not the window shopper base.
Some of the fashion houses specialize in hunting accessories and baggage. Very salt of the earth.
Last century many fashion houses were deeply involved with nationalism. It's kind of neat how fashion as fleeting is intertwined with the timeless folkways of a people.
So the artwork is gone and now there's just a cross on the wall? Maybe God wants them to become Protestants.
Truly a privilege to serve Our Lord in the company of you fine folks.
Years ago, I spent two weeks in France, and of course made the obligatory stops at Chartes, Mont St. Michel, and Notre Dame.
It's stone work that keep these cathedrals upright, and even though the walls are thin, the stone buttreses hold them up. A fire, even a conflagraton like this, could never see the structure collapse. Only an explosion, particularly one than took out the buttresses, would truly obliterate the cathedral.
The Oak roof, as an oak roof, can never be replaced. Trees providing that thickness of wood are no longer available.
Even when renovated, the cathedral will remain majestic.

Great video. 11:30 to 14:00 has good content about Hungary vs the IMF and EU.
20:47 to 21:38 is below. It follows what Vox and Martin van Creveld have said.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, today Europe is threatened my mass population movement, because when such a mass of people sets out from its homeland to settle elsewhere on another continent, it’s not simply a migration crisis, but mass population movement. One could venture to say that in all human history never has there been a time when migration has occurred on a scale that we’re talking about today.
Ladies and Gentlemen, whether we like it or not , we must face the fact that mass population movement has never been peaceful. When huge masses of people are looking for a new home, the unfortunate and inevitable consequence is conflict, because they usually want to occupy territory where people are already living and settled, and are capable of defending their homes, culture, and way of life."

what the hell are you talking about?
The "artwork" and the relics were removed DURING the fire by the old 'fireman's line' -- passed hand-to-hand and brought to safety. Firefighters, religious, and regular folks lined up, according toe French news.

The biggest miracle/sign was that the roof collapsed RIGHT on top of the Novus Ordo altar, but the High Altar was untouched.
Modernism offends Our Lord and He has shown His rage in the flames.
BREAKING: NOTRE DAME CHIEF ARCHITECT SAYS THIS WAS NO ACCIDENT
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGosOvv514E
28 min, lots of good video of the cathedral. Is it sensationalism?
"The architect says there was no renovation at the site where the fire first broke out. This excludes welding conspiracy theories etc. Furthermore, the architect says 800-year-old oak does not catch fire without an accelerent. Security protocols were put in place to prevent this type of catastrophe according to numerous reports... No lack of suspects for this terror attack either... deep state, antifa, or other terror groups."
