It took 15 hours for 400 French firefighters to put out the fire at the 850-year-old Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral. The cathedral, one of Paris's most famous landmarks, lost its spire and roof, but still has its iconic bell towers. The Crown of Thorns, one of the cathedral’s treasures, was rescued. The crown is believed to have been worn by Jesus Christ at the time of his crucifixion. Other religious statues were removed last week from the cathedral roof as part of the restoration of the church’s spire. Officials said the world famous 18th century organ that has 8,000 pipes also appeared to have survived. But no one can tell whether it has been damaged by water or will need to be restored. There is also little information on the condition of the cathedral’s stained-glass windows and its many paintings.
