NotreDame hero priest Jean-Marc Fournier, who rescued Christ’s Crown of Thorns, is Afghanistan vet
As inspiring tales of bravery emerge of firefighters' heroic efforts to quell the inferno that tore through Notre Dame cathedral in Paris last night, the determination of priest Jean-Marc Fournier is beginning to gain worldwide attention.
In a tweet, Etienne Loraillère, editor of France’s KTO Catholic television network, confirmed that Fournier had played a pivotal role in saving the Crown of Thorns, one of Notre Dame’s most famous artifacts. According to the Guardian, the Catholic faithful believe that the Crown of Thorns held at Notre Dame is the same that was placed on Jesus’ head during the crucifixion.
