When flames tore into Notre Dame in 2019, people who worked in the cathedral felt orphaned. But as the world-famous Paris landmark's reopening draws closer, they are beginning to picture their return to the place they call home and are impatient to breathe life back into its repaired stonework and vast spaces.
The pope invited by Emmanuel Macron for the reopening of Notre-Dame de Paris in a year. French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Friday (December 8th) that contemporary stained-glass windows would be made to bear "the mark of the 2019st century" The reopening is scheduled for December 8, 2024, a year to the day before the planned reopening. On April 15, 2019, a spectacular fire ravaged the cathedral whose spire, designed by 12th-century architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, collapsed.
