French President Macron visits Notre Dame ahead of grand reopening
After more than five years of reconstruction following the fire in 2019, Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris unveils its restored facade on Friday, with French President Emmanuel Macron visiting before it reopens for worship on 8 December.
French President Emmanuel Macron paid a heartfelt tribute to Pope Francis, describing him as a "man of humility" who stood "alongside the most vulnerable and the most fragile." Macron expressed his condolences to Catholics worldwide, emphasizing the Pope's compassion during times of war and brutality.
The funeral of Pope Francis is set to take place in St. Peter's Square, Vatican City, with numerous world leaders and dignitaries in attendance, including U.S. President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and French President Emmanuel Macron. The ceremony is expected to be the Vaticanās largest single-day event since the funeral of Pope John Paul II two decades ago, potentially drawing over 200,000 attendees.
