The Archbishop of Paris held a small ceremony consisting of six other people in the cathedral of Notre-Dame to mark GoodFriday
PARIS - Nearly a year after fire devastated Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris, the city’s Archbishop held a small ceremony there to mark Good Friday, praying that Easter’s message of rebirth might bring comfort to a country stricken by the coronavirus pandemic.
“A year ago, this cathedral was burning, causing bewilderment,” said Aupetit, after bowing before a relic of Christ’s crown of thorns that was famously saved from the blaze by a fireman.The world had been “brought down and paralysed by a pandemic that spreads death”, Aupetit said. “As we are going to celebrate Easter, we will celebrate life which is stronger than death, love stronger than hate.”
He and his fellow clerics wore white hard hats as they entered the cathedral, much of which remains a building site, before removing them for the service. All three were clad in white jumpsuits and boots to protect them against lead poisoning after the fire left traces of the metal throughout the building.It was the second service to have been held in the Gothic church since the April 15 fire.On June 15, 2019, a mass to commemorate the cathedral’s consecration as a place of worship was held in a side-chapel of Notre-Dame that had been undamaged by the blaze.
