Notre Dame Cathedral reopens in Paris after five-year restoration following fire

Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris is reopening on Saturday, more than five years after a fire caused extensive damage. The restoration, costing $760 million, has been completed, allowing the historic site to welcome guests again. The reopening ceremony will be led by Archbishop Laurent Ulrich and attended by French President Emmanuel Macron, along with 1,500 invitees, including heads of state. Public viewing areas will accommodate 40,000 people to watch the event on giant screens. The first Mass since the fire will take place on Sunday, with the cathedral opening to the public later that day. Many religious relics and artworks were saved, and the iconic rose windows and bells remain intact.
