This Sunday will in some sense be remembered as an Easter amid the ashes, as Christians from Louisiana to the Il de la Cite, the island where Notre Dame Cathedral sits surrounded by the Seine River, take refuge in the hope of resurrection.
As Pastor Harry Richard watched the flames consume Paris' Notre Dame Cathedral on Tuesday, his soul swirled with emotions.
Just two weeks earlier, on April 2, Richard's own church, Greater Union Baptist Church in Opelousas, Louisiana, was set ablaze. It was one of three predominantly black churches in the area that were intentionally burned down, according to police. "My heart bled for them as much as it did for my own congregation," said Richard of the Parisians devastated by the damage to their 850-year-old cathedral.
