Investigators were still trying to determine the cause of the four-alarm fire that tore through a historic Flatiron church in Manhattan, New York, on Sunday evening, May 1.

The fire gutted the Gothic-style Serbian Orthodox Cathedral of St. Sava on 25th Street following the Orthodox Easter services there.

The roof of the grand church appeared a skeleton of its former self and debris littered the ground.

The blaze broke out just before 6:50 p.m. Sunday and took nearly three hours to be brought under control.

Five people suffered minor injuries, including four firefighters and one civilian who had minor injuries but refused medical treatment.
