Notre Dame Cathedral reopens in Paris after five-year restoration following fire
Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris has reopened for the first time since a devastating fire in 2019. The event is attended by world leaders, including President-elect Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, among 1,500 guests. The reopening ceremony, originally planned for outdoors, has been moved inside due to strong winds. French President Emmanuel Macron will speak, followed by Archbishop Laurent Ulrich leading a religious service and a rite to reawaken the cathedral's organ. The restoration of Notre Dame has taken over five years and received nearly $1 billion in donations globally. The event marks a significant moment for the cathedral, a symbol of French heritage.
