(Paris) — The mayor of Paris says several relics from Notre Dame Cathedral are safe as a fire destroyed much of the iconic landmark. Mayor Anne Hidalgo said firefighters and police saved part of the crown of thorns said to be worn by Jesus during his crucifixion, as well as the tunic of Saint Louis and other major pieces. The 850-year-old cathedral went up in flames today, destroying the iconic spire and causing the roof to collapse. Firefighters were able to save the main structure of the building, as well as the two bell towers at the front of it.
