Reims_Cathedral_burning_during_World_War_I
The Cathedral of Reims was nearly destroyed by fire by German cannons at the beginning of World War I. In the years of poverty after this disastrous war it needed 20 years to build her up again.
Today it is a marvellous sign of peace, prayer and reconciliation in French-German relationship.
We have visited this cathedral several times, for example 2011 at her 800th anniversary.
And after the fire of Notre Dame de Paris in 2019 it is also a sign of hope, that Notre Dame de Paris will rise again in full splendour.
