Three days of festivity
If the official date of reopening has been set for December 8, 2024, Olivier Ribadeau Dumas, the rector-Archpriest of Notre-Dame de Paris, explained that the doors will instead open on the evening of December 7. “The Archbishop will take his crozier and tap on the doors asking that they open. Inside, a few singers will be there to answer him. Then, the doors will open and the Archbishop will enter his cathedral first,” he detailed on KTOTV.
On December 8, a mass to consecrate the hotel will be held “certainly in the presence of many personalities, but also of the people of Paris”. Finally, on the 9th, a new mass, more intimate, will take place at Notre-Dame. She will dedicated “to priests of Paris and Île-de-France to demonstrate that this cathedral is that of all the dioceses of the region. »
