With the fire out in Notre Dame, French officials and historians are combing through the cathedral to take stock of what’s left. There was a lot saved. The two towers and facade at the front, what many people envision when they think of Notre Dame, they’re still standing. A Paris city hall spokesperson says the cathedrals most significant treasures were saved including what Notre Dame calls its most precious and venerated relic. A crown of thorns which many believe is the crown of thorns that was placed on the head of Jesus Christ.
