When the wonderful 861 year-old Notre Dame of Paris Cathedral caught fire about five years ago, it shook to the core both Christians and lovers of Architecture marvels alike.
The iconic spire and timber roof were destroyed in the hellish blaze and collapsed in a nightmarish vision.
Many of us saw in that suspicious fire a horrendous metaphor of the decadence of the western world – I know I did. And also, how many of us secretly hoped there was something we can do to rebuild it again.
This is a story of an American who got this opportunity, and embraced it wholeheartedly.
As Paris prepares itself for the Summer Olympics in 100 days, the work to restore the beloved Church to its former glory is ongoing.
And among the skilled workers involved in the literally monumental project is an American carpenter, Hank Silver, who was given a rare chance to take part in this historic restoration project.
