Reuters: No Christmas mass at Notre-Dame for the first time since Napoleon
“There won’t be a midnight mass at Notre-Dame. The last time this happened was during the French Revolution. Since 1803, there have always been Christmas masses at Notre-Dame,” a Paris diocese spokeswoman told Reuters.
Monsignor Patrick Chauvet suggested that parishioners to go to nearby Saint-Germain l’Auxerrois, one of Paris’ oldest churches.
