Notre Dame held its first mass since a devastating fire tore through the building two months ago, but worshipers had to wear hard hats

Notre Dame Cathedral on Saturday held its first mass since a devastating fire tore through the building two months ago on April 15.

Paris archbishop Michel Aupetit led the service. He has pushed for the reconstruction of Notre-Dame since the fire and wanted to hold the mass as a way to keep the energy around the monument’s recovery alive. “It was extraordinary,” he said, “to be able to celebrate again, even in this wounded cathedral. I was ordained bishop in this cathedral.”
