Notre-Dame, the cathedral (大教堂) that serves as one of Paris' most beloved monuments, is on fire. According to The New York Times the fire began around 6: 30 p. m. local time when tourists urgently rushed out of the building. Andre Finot, a spokesman for the cathedral, told The Times that the cause of the fire was still unknown and that no one had been hurt while damage to the building appeared catastrophic(灾难性的).

CNN reports that over 400 firefighters have been sent to fight the fire, but that they may be unable to save the cathedral. Built in the 12th century, Notre-Dame houses several relics important to Catholics (天主教徒). NBC News reports that relics from Saint Genevieve and Saint Denis may be lost, together with a relic believed to be from Jesus Christ's crown of thorns, but it states that the authorities now believe that the cathedral has been saved from "total destruction".

Notre-Dame is visited by a reported 30,000 people a day and 13 million people per year. Its destruction represents a global cultural loss. "This is just horrible," Mohamed Megdoul, 33, a film producer and witness to the fire told The Times, speaking in tears. "A thousand years of history is being wiped away.
