Notre Dame Cathedral has gotten its rooster back, in a pivotal moment for the Paris landmark’s restoration. The installation by a crane of a new golden rooster, reimagined as a dramatic phoenix with licking, flamed feathers, goes beyond being just a weathervane atop the cathedral spire. It symbolizes resilience amid destruction and marks a key step in the monument’s revival after the devastating April 2019 fire — as restoration officials also revealed the the monument is being kitted out with an anti-fire misting system under its roof. The rooster replaces the original that was destroyed in the blaze and will stand over 96 meters high on the spire.
