Just four years ago, on Easter Sunday, 2015, Billie and I were in Paris and actually attended services at the Notre Dame de Paris. It was a special opportunity that came with a very special river cruise that began in Paris and carried us along the Seine to Normandy and back.
The massive fire this week brought back many memories of our visit there four years ago, including these marvelous stained glass rose windows that adorn the north and south walls of the cathedral. We thought at first that these treasures had been lost in the fire, but by some miracle, the firemen saved the windows.
