After the fire, Pinault pledged 100 million euros in funds from his holding company Artemis to help the restoration efforts, and “I am proud of the outpouring of generosity from all over the world, to which the LVMH Group and my family wanted to contribute from the very beginning, which has enabled the restoration of this jewel of our heritage,” Antoine Arnault said in a statement posted to LinkedIn.
For the celebration of Mass, the bishops and priests wear wide cloaks called a chasuble as well as a stole around the neck, which descended the length of the cloak along both sides of the body.
