Before we left Paris, we wanted to make sure we could visit Notre Dame. Somehow, we only just barely made it. We were literally the last people out of the church.... But, it was beautiful, and we even got to see the last bit of a ceremony!
 |
The Portail du Jugement Dernier above the central doorway illustrates Christ the Judge and Archangel Michael directing the righteous to heaven and the damned to hell.
|
 |
Above the left-hand doorway, the Portail de la Vierge shows the Assumption of the Virgin and Ark of the Covenant.
|
 |
The Portail de Sainte-Anne above the right-hand doorway depicts the story of the Virgin's parents, the Annunciation, and Nativity of Christ.
|
 |
| I think the Rose Windows are my favourite! So gorgeous! |
 |
| The organ is huge! It sounded incredible. |
 |
| We got to watch Communion (The Eucharist) be given. |
 |
| The doors were beautiful, and we got to see them close up! (They closed on our heels...) |
 |
| We were told to look for the saint holding his head. |
Up next... London!
