The reverence and worship in that cathedral, yes, of course.
But just the majesty and beauty of its design and appearance is almost as devastating a loss.
I was just watching CNN, and they stopped their conversation just to listen to the people in their loss, singing hymns together and praying.
But as you have said, the majesty and beauty of the design..... the magnificence of the structure, even if it is "replaced" will never be the same.
I have been weeping at this historic loss.
