A crane lifts the 38-ton heavy copper roof on the
top of the Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) in Dresden, June 22, 2004.
The Frauenkirche, built in the years 1726-1743, has been in reconstruction
since 1993 after being destroyed in February 1945 during World War II. The
re-production of the copper roof with a golden pinnacle cross financed by
British donations will be placed on the top of the church's bell-shaped
dome later today. REUTERS/Arnd Wiegmann
