Notre Dame Cathedral has held its first Mass exactly two months after it was ravaged by a huge blaze. Archbishop Michel Aupetit donned a hard-hat for the service in the cathedral, which lost its roof and spire to the inferno. The service, which was attended by 30 priests, canons and church employees, took place in a chapel behind the choir, a place confirmed by construction experts as safe.
Some of the workers rebuilding the church were also invited.
French Culture Minister Franck Riester said this week the cathedral remains in a "fragile" state, especially its vaulted ceiling, which is still at risk of collapsing.

Wow! I'm surprised they were able to get inside to hold a service. I'm praying it is God Who was protecting those present.
