President Emmanuel Macron recently took a moment to pause and reflect upon the statue of the Virgin of Paris, also known as the 'Virgin of the Pillar.' This historic statue, originally crafted in the 14th century, found its home at Notre Dame Cathedral in the 19th century.
Following the devastating fire that engulfed Notre Dame, the statue of the Virgin of Paris emerged as a symbol of resilience amidst the destruction. Despite the surrounding burnt wood and collapsed stones, the statue stood firm, embodying a sense of strength and endurance.
