I have had the great fortune to visit Notre Dame several times before the fire. I was not fortunate to have a tour like this film provided, Thank you.

[@worldcitizeng6507]

those who have visited Notre Dame, knows that in front of the church, there are so many pick-picketers despite police presents. I am always on high alert when I was outside the area. I tried to spend some time inside, the best place to appreciate all the interior.

If you actually have the opportunity to visit Notre Dame after it is restored after the terrible fire of 2019 be prepared for the fact that it is much darker inside than you would except. None of the photos or videos I’d seen previous to my first visit gave any indication that it was so dark inside. Different times of the day marginally improve the light but not by much. If you want to have the ultimate stained glass experience in Paris walk 1 1/2 blocks west of Notre Dame to Sainte Chapelle which is part of the Conciergerie by the Pont Neuf. It was built in 1248 to be a relic chapel for the King, his family and the upper court members to worship in the presence of the Crown of Thorns at the upstairs level. The servants worshipped in a lovely chapel directly below them. The walls upstairs are almost entirely made of stained glass and have slender columns of stone in between. The stories of the entire Old and New Testaments are told in the glass. Regardless of the light outside it’s always beautiful inside. Being there is an experience you don’t want to miss. I always tell friends that if there is one place in Paris they don’t want to miss on their first visit it’s Sainte-Chapelle. When they return they rave about SC and agree that it’s the best place and leaves Notre Dame in the dust.

[@angellacanfora]

I visited Notre Dame in 1995 and was surprised at how dark it was inside. Not a new thing.

[@worldcitizeng6507]

I always visited Notre Dame around sunset, so I didn't noticed any difference :)

thanks, i sure wish i'd known about Sainte-Chapelle! in 2019 i spent june-sept in england looking at stained glass & medieval cathedrals, as well as florence's duomo and barcelona's sagrada familia. i crossed paris off the list completely after notre dame was burned. i probably will never get there again unless this covid crap is somehow managed in the next few years. it takes 30hrs to fly there from new zealand and i'm not getting any younger! .. ps. all the english cathedrals were well lit, only the duomo was dark and gloomy but its stunning exterior made up for that.

What kind of house will you build for Me, says the Lord, or where will My place of repose be?… " Acts 7:47-48 Funny how the Bible is very clear that God doesn't "LIVE" in the cathedral but people in religion insist it is the "HOUSE of God"

[@mattropolis99]

and when you love your spouse, you go to dates at McDonalds even though you could do more? God asks us to make a sacrifice of praise - and that is what this building is. Catholic churches (at least in the US) are places where we can give praise the best we can with music and worahip - but also where classes are taught for free to immigrants/poor, food boxes are handed out, homeless cared for, and those down on their luck come every week. That is what a church should be - and is in many places

Don't know about the rooster, but the relics were indeed found and saved when La Flèche (the spire) came down. It was one of many ''small'' miracles that had happened in that fatal night of the blaze (written by one who read a lot about religion(s) and its history etc but never was enlightened...).

[@Alombe]

The rooster was found after the fire, it was i one pice but damaged. The relics inside was saved. When the spire fell, it fell diagonaly over the roof as I understood and the rooster was nocked off and fell outside off the cathedral

[@karenkiebooms1373]

Mijn officiële naam is Katherina Isabella Kiebooms - inderdaad, katherina met een e en niet Katharina, wat vaak met een C geschreven wordt ... het verwijst naar kathedraal en niet naar kathaar - een stukje geschiedenis dat we helemaal verwrongen hebben, omdat we de vrouwelijk spirituele leerkracht vervangen hadden door meesters en rechters zonder mededogen. Katholiek is minder oud dan we denken en katharen waren eerder filosofisch dan dogmatisch - Vlaanderen was de bakermat van de katharen en de kennis kwam van Katherina Mareya, die al evengoed plaats heeft gemaakt voor mannelijke heiligen. Ik had een bijzondere opdracht in dit leven, maar daar kwam ik pas achter toen mijn leven aan het wankelen ging - de tien jaar, die erboven kwamen, waren er om de vijftig jaren goed te maken, want ook ik had alles geslikt alsof het een medicijn was. Mijn boeken zullen uiteindelijk uitgegeven worden, zij zijn een reflectie op mijn leven, zoals het was, zonder een zweem van martelaarschap, maar met voldoende momenten dat ik me opgesloten voelde in een onzichtbare gevangenis. Orléans ligt op exact dezelfde breedtelijn als Ulaanbaatar (met de vijf a's) - en dat is symbolisch, want Orleans is de plek waar Johanna van Castilië gestorven is en bij gebrek aan beter (want ik weet alleen dat het Mongolië is), is Sophia in Ulaanbaatar geboren, mijn vorige en mijn volgende leven. Niet dat ze me daarvoor op de brandstapel zullen zetten, maar de naam DENIS wekt associaties op, die ik nu niet direct met aangename zaken associeer. De laatste aanslagen in Parijs wezen naar mij, mijn vader is op 13 november 1926 geboren en mijn kinderen hebben als achternaam Denis, niet dat dat van Peter een vader heeft gemaakt, want die heeft een mijnenveld achtergelaten en ik had geen tijd om dat allemaal op te lossen binnen mijn tijd. Peter Denis betekent rots rots en dat heb ik geweten, maar verder was ik maar 1 iemand, die niet eens veel voorstelde en gingen die andere zaken over heel veel mensen, dan weet je gelijk wie ze gaan beschermen en wie niet. Teveel toeval is geen toeval meer - ik vul iets in wat we nu nodig hebben en ik spreek niet ijdel als ik zeg dat ik the One expected ben, ook al spreek ik als een gewone mens en niet als een kandidaat heilige ... het is teleurstellend hoe weinig we de ander nog gunnen, maar dar staat tegenover dat ik niet hoef te twijfelen over dat, wat er gebeurd is, het stak en het brandde, maar juist daardoor zag ik de twee kanten van de munt en weet ik dat ik net als iedereen ook gewoon dood mag gaan ... ik kijk ernaar uit, want dit is echt geen leven!

An amazing building or should I say cathedral, magnificent structure. I have one question to ask " why do the people or worshipers or believers spend so much of their valuable time praying to Mary?" She was the one assigned by God to be pregnant with our Saviour Jesus. She has no more special power than anyone else born in the past, the present nor the future. She is not the one who shed blood for our remission of sins. Your prayers to her are futile

Stupid statement: A statement of faith? LOL NO! STATEMENT OF POWER! A power struggle between the church and the king. So they built it right in front of the king's palace.

[@johnwells4690]

To celebrate such a magnificent building it is inevitable that the superstitions of religion go with it. After all it was those ideas which were the inspiration to create the building , decorations and music. Some of our fore bearers were very talented.
