Notre Dame Cathedral will reopen this weekend after extensive restoration following the 2019 fire. The ceremonies will include the archbishop knocking on the doors, the reawakening of the organ, and the first Mass, attended by over 1,500 guests. The reopening marks a significant moment for both France and the Catholic Church, showcasing global support.

New furnishings and a consecrated altar have been added, enhancing the cathedral's beauty for visitors.
