Celebrations Mark the Reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral After Five-Year Restoration
The highly anticipated reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, following its destruction in a 2019 fire, was celebrated with speeches, music, and religious ceremonies. French President Emmanuel Macron delivered a key address in front of various world leaders, including Donald Trump and Jill Biden. The celebrations featured a film tribute to the cathedral’s restoration, a grande concert with numerous artists, and the first public masses since the refurbishment. Security was tight due to heightened terrorist threats as thousands gathered to celebrate this significant moment in French history.
