Notre Dame's Restoration Culminates with New Golden Rooster
TL;DR
Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris has installed a new golden rooster, symbolizing resilience after the devastating 2019 fire. The rooster, reimagined as a phoenix, represents hope and the cathedral's rebirth. The installation coincided with the announcement of an anti-fire misting system being installed under the cathedral's roof. The rooster was blessed by the Paris Archbishop and contains sacred relics, while the original rooster will be displayed in a new museum. Measures have been taken to safeguard the cathedral against future fires, including innovative fire protection devices.
