A Cathedral on Fire (Full Episode) | Saving Notre Dame | Nat Geo

[@javierperezbarreto4229]

I can't look at these images without shedding a tear. Five years later.

[@Rekitor]

Im no Christian or Catholic, but i fully understand how important Notre Dame is. This artifact-- this massive talisman of God. I understand the tragedy of losing such a house of communion.

[@christinac726]

Very well said. They had beehives on the roof, I hope they put the bees back. ❤❤

[@heliedecastanet1882]

@@christinac726 They actually never left 🙂 They survived the fire and the destruction (how impressive and moving !).

[@ApakmanMarquez]

It amazes me that you of all people can intuit what this magnificent Church is all about! I how you don't take it badly if I say you are a Christian by desire.

[@AllThought-about]

The artistry put into these old cathedrals is astonishing.

[@NatGeo]

Gothic architecture is truly an art form!

[@stevepashley795]

Magnificent! What a visual masterpiece. Thank you Nat Geo. You had me in tears. Love from Oz

[@skylark1250]

With the enormous concentrated effort with one goal in mind, these talented and very skilled craftsmen have done what many believed couldn’t happen, rebuilding and restoring the 800 year old cathedral to an astonishing degree of Gothic architectural authenticity and beauty. It’s cleaner, brighter, and more welcoming than before with the paint freshened walls reflecting more natural light. Human beings working together can do a lot. Stunning achievement. Merci.

[@NatGeo]

The workers who helped rebuild this masterpiece of a monument are some of this story's greatest heroes!

[@karenroot450]

Wow Nat awesome coverage. These guys are definitely experts in their fields! I wish them luck and perseverance! Truly a significant place of reverence! May all the workers stay safe as this progresses! 🙏

[@foetsie85]

they have finished it just a couple of days ago

Thanks for this masterpiece national geographic ♥️

[@manciniman4834]

France is blessed and that cathedral has added it’s share once more to shower more blessings. I’m not a Christian but admire both France & Italy both God’s own countries.

Really interesting to hear the background to today's historic Opening Mass in Notre Dame Paris. Thank u ❤️🙏

Praying for you still, France!!! But SO HAPPY for you!!! Love from USA!!!

[@FedericoGalimbertiApparel]

An amazing documentary! Congratulations for putting this first part together. Look forward to the next chapters

[@haydendegrow945]

The day the place burned is a day I will never forget. I remember waking up in my parents house, and both of them were screaming, yelling at me to get to a TV. When I did, I watched as my favourite church on Earth...was in flames. I don't even think I paid attention in my university classes that day. All i cared about was knowing if Notre Dame, a church that had survived 8 1/2 centuries of wars and revolutions, was going to survive this. Today, that part of my heart has been healed. Notre Dame is back and better than ever

[@artrickard4494]

It's interesting that they used centering to support the arches. That is the same way they were built back in the middle ages.

[@christinac726]

Hey nobody said this was "part 1"😮😮 I would have liked to see the restoration completed. That being said I did enjoy the episode, I'll keep an eye out for " part 2" hopefully

[@philippekogler]

Bravo et Merci!

[@UyurkenUnutma]

Thanks for this documentary..❤

[@emanvillacorta]

Thanks and Kudos to the team of the Nat'l Geographic!😊😊😮

[@ellendonnelly5394]

I am a Catholic in New Zealand. French missionaries brought Christianity (Catholic version) to my country. I live with the heritage of European Christianity. Ever grateful. Unbelievable restoration. ❤

[@ApakmanMarquez]

Bravo National Geographic!

[@rachelspencer777]

I cannot comprehend how she was built back then

[@tenzinnorbu5637]

It sadden me to see such a holy monument go down. Will definitely visit there now that it’s up 😊

[@Eduardo-ob8je]

Sad day😢

[@HenrietteAndersen26]

It’s mind blowing how DIRTY Notre Dame was even before the fire, especially compared to how light all the stonework is after it’s been cleaned, now the stained glass windows really stand out with all their colour! 😁🤩

[@heliedecastanet1882]

You are totally right ! Too many people forget today that a restoration was ongoing in Notre Dame since 2018 and was supposed to last… 15 years (because of the lack of money). This fire was tragic, of course, but it speeded up the whole process. 5 years instead of 15.

[@artsantianesX44]

I got goosebumps when the tower's falls down..

[@judithgrace8359]

That 900 years ago architects and stone masons could achieve this marvel of construction without computers, is mind boggling. I wonder if architects and masons could do as well today without modern technology tools and computer technology.

[@diolemmen6936]

he should stay a electrician instead of a fire fighter then lmao

[@ionobdeala4072]

If you could juat investigate to see how many churches were burnt in arson attacks in France in particular, but in hole Europe in general, then publish the police reports, at the end tell us what is your conclusions After this you understand that there is a pattern...

[@s.p.8803]

You'd better take time to learn grammar and spelling.

[@papaoutsakis]

Do you mean the same pattern the catholic and orthodox church used to have for centuries against old religions and ancient temples around the world?

[@heliedecastanet1882]

Please, give us your data 🙂 I am VERY curious because, you see, I know just a little bit the subject, and the French data (open access, no big research to make) and I would love to compare mine and the studies I have with yours… So please, share your informations.

[@soulcontractor1641]

It was arson!

[@gopaldass9946]

We r suprised that EVEN there is water beside the cathedral no arrangement is done to take action on fire

[@DesertVox]

All the arts collection were mysteriously and conveniently taken out before the 'fire'. As if we don't know..

[@vaheteiole1]

Some artwork had been removed in preparation for the renovations, and most of the cathedral's sacred relics were held in the adjoining sacristy, which the fire did not reach; all the cathedral's relics survived.[42][49][50] Some contents were moved by a human chain of emergency workers and civil servants.[35] Many valuables that were not removed also survived, but the state of many others remained unknown as of 16 April 2019.[13][needs update].

[@EricLehmann-e7i]

no arts collection were removed at all, sir ,only a few copper statues on the roof in the vicinity of the spike had been removed at the start of the renovation program the rest of valuables in the cathedral were removed by the firemen and civil servants during the blaze Sacred relics were held in the adjoining sacristy wich did not burn The unique big 200yo clock and its mechanism got totally destroyed
