The fire brigade chaplain of Paris has been declared as an absolute hero after he managed to save the Blessed Sacrament and the Crown of Thorns that Jesus wore.
The chaplain bravely entered the flaming Notre Dame to recover holy relic. This rescue mission comes after he bravely helped Bataclan terror victims who were shot by Islamic terrorists.
The priest, named Jean-Marc Fournier, saved the Crown of Thorns from the blazing Notre Dame. He has been described by French authorities as showing “absolutely no sign of fear even though there were massive flames all around”.
The priest is a hardy buck however, he survived an ambush in Afghanistan while serving and also entered the Bataclan theatre giving a collective absolution to all the victims who were dying and dead.
It was feared that both religious artefacts would be lost as flames engulfed the medieval building, but thankfully Father Fournier made sure they were taken to safety.
It’s understood that he helped to comfort the wounded after the worst terrorist attack on Paris this century when 89 people were massacred at the Eagles of Death Metal concert in 2015.
In the midst of the tragic events of yesterday, people have already mooted that Fr Fournier is in line to get a hero’s medal as a result of his bravery.
