'The Virgin of Paris' statue returns to Notre Dame.

A very old statue of Mary and baby Jesus went back to Notre Dame. The statue is called “The Virgin of Paris” and it was not hurt in the big fire five years ago. People were very happy to see the statue come back to the church.

The statue was in another church after the fire but now it is back at Notre Dame. Many people walked with the statue to the church and a leader of the church said a prayer.

The statue is very old and was made in the 1300s. It was moved to Notre Dame in the 1800s and has been moved a few times inside the church.

The church will open again soon and they are getting ready. They had a special prayer time for nine days before the statue came back.

The church also got three new bells, and one of them was used at the Olympics. The leader of the church is excited for people to see the church when it opens again.
