Notre Dame Cathedral has reopened in Paris after a devastating fire in 2019. The grand ceremony was attended by President-elect Trump and First Lady Jill Biden.
A fire ravaged the landmark in 2019, with French President Emmanuel Macron vowing to repair it within 5 years. After 5 years of restoration work, the cathedral has been restored to its former glory. The restoration involved 2,000 artisans who worked tirelessly to restore the church.
The ceremony was an emotional evening for those in attendance. It began with the bells of Notre Dame Cathedral ringing out for the first time since the fire. President-elect Trump and First Lady Jill Biden attended the ceremony, sitting in the front of the cathedral.
The waking of the organ, a ritual that had not been performed in 5 years, was a moving moment for many. The clergy wore long cloaks and miters for the occasion, adding to the medieval atmosphere of the ceremony.
Notre Dame Cathedral has been restored to its former glory, with soaring ceilings, white stones, and glowing golden chandeliers.
