The bells of Notre Dame are back

The bells of Notre Dame are back - The bells of Notre Dame in Paris have been returned and blessed as the cathedral prepares to reopen in early December, more than five years after it narrowly escaped complete destruction in a devastating fire the bells, which are the voice of the cathedral, are back to their former glory. The 12th-century gothic cathedral was being renovated when the fire broke out in April 2019, toppling its spire and prompting a desperate fight to save one of the world’s great architectural treasures.
