Advent and Christmas time at Notre-Dame cathedral: all events
Wed. 30 Nov. / ParoisseAt Christmas, Christians joyfully celebrate this mystery: the Most High becomes the Most Low in the child in the manger. He thus joins humanity in its fragility and gives himself to it so that it acts for the good. Advent is the time of preparation to live in sobriety. Let us visit the crib to learn simplicity.
Father Emmanuel Blondeau
