Notre Dame of Paris will soon re-open its doors.  After being closed since 2019 due to a devastating fire, the landmark will welcome visitors once again on next month, starting Dec. 7. “The cathedral's teams are mobilized to make the ceremonies for the reopening of Notre Dame on Dec. 7 and 8, moments of joy, peace and fraternity in which as many people as possible can take part,” the cathedral's website states.  The re-opening event will be invitation-only, and will also be televised and streamed on social media for international visitors and those who were unable to secure access to the event.  Officials from the Notre Dame of Paris anticipate that over 15 million people will visit the cathedral in the first year of reopening.
