Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris reopens five years after devastating fire

Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris will reopen this weekend, five years after a devastating fire destroyed its wooden ceiling and spire. The restoration, completed in just five years, has returned the Gothic landmark to its former glory. The reopening ceremony will be attended by notable figures, including First Lady Jill Biden and President-elect Donald Trump. The event will feature a service led by the Archbishop of Paris, with music from the cathedral's restored organ. New safety features, such as fire doors and sprinklers, have been added. The crown of thorns, a significant relic, will be displayed in a new reliquary. Restoration work will continue in the coming years.
