Paris' Notre Dame Cathedral receives a new golden rooster, symbolizing hope and rebirth, as part of its ongoing restoration following the devastating fire in 2019. The rooster, blessed by the archbishop of Paris, contains relics and a list of the 2,000 people involved in the cathedral's reconstruction.
