Notre Dame Cathedral: Good Friday service one year after fire
As Christians celebrate Good Friday in isolation, Paris’s fire-ravaged Notre Dame opens briefly for televised service.
A Good Friday service has been held in Paris’s Notre Dame Cathedral, nearly a year after it was devastated by a fire.
With the French capital under lockdown, only a handful of people took part in the ceremony, wearing hard hats and protective clothing because rebuilding on the cathedral is not yet complete and the interior is not entirely safe.
