Stephen Most holy Theotokos, save us!
The songs of the crowds in Paris were not being sung to a building, but to the Mother of God, to whose name the building was dedicated. She is indestructible, and a terror to demons. May she guard France and all of its people and place them under her protecting veil as she prays to her Son for their well-being and salvation. For so she loves us all.

Why The Non-Catholic Weeps For Notre Dame, Too "I am Orthodox, but while Notre Dame was someone else’s church, it was also a testament to the enduring goodness of a Christian society. The venerable age of Notre Dame, coupled with its spellbinding beauty, made it a little harder to believe the lie that the Middle Ages were 'a world lit only by fire.' Notre Dame was built five hundred years before small-minded Christians reduced Christianity to religion and decided the public square was no place for it. While the builders of Notre Dame could not have known it at the time, their cathedral would not simply stand the test of time, but would become gloriously, obstinately anachronistic. Notre Dame was not 'a Christian community,' nor 'a place of faith,' nor 'a faith community.' Notre Dame was a church, and not just a church, but the absolute churchiest kind of church there is."
