Prince William, Prince Albert, President-elect Donald Trump, and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden were among the prominent dignitaries who attended the reopening of the iconic Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France, on Saturday evening. French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed Trump and royal dignitaries before the official ceremony began. Although this is a personal visit by Trump, the president-elect spoke of its significance before arriving in Paris.
The Archbishop of Paris symbolically knocked on the majestic doors of Notre Dame Cathedral, said, “Open your doors,” and entered the cathedral. The twelfth-century landmark in the City of Light has been restored after a devastating fire in 2019. President Macron said, “The bells of Notre Dame are ringing again,” and more.
President-elect Donald Trump and Dr. Jill Biden were seated in the front row next to President Emmanuel Macron, signaling the importance of US relations with France. This is Trump’s first foreign visit since winning the US presidential elections in November. He met French President Macron before the reopening.
Prince William represented the royal family. The president-elect patted the Prince of Wales on the shoulder and shook hands. According to Kensington Palace, Prince William and Trump are expected to meet at a different location later.
Pope Francis was unable to attend the reopening ceremony. He sent a message that was read to the French. The Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France, is considered by many Christians to be the second most important religious center after the Vatican in Rome.
The reopening ceremony included the ringing of the bells, prayers, and hymns. On Sunday, the first mass will occur in the cathedral after almost five years. More than 100 priests are expected to attend the 10.30 a.m. service. A second service at 6.30 p.m. will be open to the public.
The cathedral was filled with many global leaders, royal family members, and French citizens, including the firefighters whose role in saving Notre Dame’s main structure has been reported throughout the years. They received a standing ovation at the ceremony.
Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France, was illuminated on Saturday evening and glittered like celestial jewelry. The front flashed messages of gratitude that said thanks in several languages. Many royals, dignitaries, and countries have contributed funds to rebuild the iconic Paris monument that houses several Christian relics.
