A medieval statue of the Virgin Mary and Child, known as 'The Virgin of Paris,' returned to Notre Dame Cathedral, five years after surviving a devastating fire.
A replica of the Virgin Mary statue is carried from Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois church to Notre-Dame cathedral during a procession, Friday, Nov. 15, 2024 in Paris.
The nearly six-foot-tall stone sculpture, a symbol of hope and faith for Catholics in Paris and beyond, was relocated after the blaze on April 15, 2019. The statue’s return began with a torchlit procession from the forecourt of Saint-Germain-l’Auxerrois Church on Friday. Hundreds of faithful and residents accompanied the statue along the Seine river to the cathedral’s square, where Archbishop Laurent Ulrich of Paris led a blessing ceremony.
