PARIS (Reuters) - Nearly a year after fire devastated Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris, the city's Archbishop held a small ceremony there to mark Good Friday, praying that Easter's message of rebirth might bring comfort to a country stricken by the coronavirus pandemic.
Only seven people, including Paris Archbishop Michel Aupetit, attended the solemn service in the apse behind Notre-Dame's Pietà due to the nationwide lockdown across France, but many more watched on their televisions.
