The Loss Of A Historic Church

The photo below is very dramatic, and heart-breaking in my opinion.

Romanian Church

What you are looking at is the steeple of Evangelist church being consumed by flames. The church is located in the city of Bistrita in Romania's Transylvania region, and it is over 700 years old. The steeple began to burn after a fire broke out in this historic place of worship.

I have no idea the condition of the church at this point nor if any of the building can be saved. Any time we lose a building such as this one my heart gives a little lurch...I guess that is true for anyone that loves, and appreciates history.
