Thank God no one was hurt and the relics are safe. Those central drum windows must have been a real mess to clean up after. Praying the repairs don't drag on too long before winter hits.

Κρίμα που χτύπησαν τον τρούλο και τα παράθυρα της καμπάνας. Ευτυχώς δεν έπαθε κανείς τίποτα και οι άγιες εικόνες έμειναν άθικτες, όπως γράφει το άρθρο. Ελπίζω να προλάβουν να τα φτιάξουν πριν κλείσει ο καιρός.

The central drum windows really do sound like a nightmare to sort out, all that glass and debris up high. Our parish had a similar clean-up after a storm a few years back and it took three weekends just to make the scaffolding safe again. Hope the diocese gets the funds sorted quickly.

Es una lástima lo del tambor central y las ventanas de la campana, se ve que el dron dio justo ahí. Me alegra que no haya heridos y que las reliquias estén intactas. Ojalá la diócesis consiga lo necesario para arreglarlo antes de que llegue el frío de verdad.
