Earlier this month, we told you how the bells of Notre Dame -- silent since a devastating fire in 2019 -- rang out for the first time. This writer won't lie; that moment made her a little teary-eyed. She hopes to get to Paris one day and see Notre Dame with her own eyes, instead of through a computer screen.
But, in the meantime, she'll take what she can get. And because this also made her cry a little, she's sharing the beauty of Notre Dame restored with you:
What a sight.
We are so back.
Nature is healing.
Also a very moving moment.
Ah, St. Joan of Arc. This writer's favorite saint.
God bless Napoleon.
What a beautiful building in a beautiful city.
Not gonna lie: this writer was worried they'd either not reopen or re-imagine the space with modern architecture.
Glad to see neither of those fears were founded.
Whatever it takes, we guess?
It's not just a 'dumb old church', Erin.
Not at all jealous.
Nope.
Okay, a little jealous.
Never forget.
But it did.
The first Mass at the reopened Notre Dame will be December 8. Can't wait.
