PARIS - The bells of the famed Notre Dame cathedral echoed through Paris on Thursday in a call for peace in Ukraine amid the Russian military's continued assault on the country — one of many European cathedrals that rang out in unison.
Video recorded by Gemmie Dayrit on Thursday captured the sound of bells in the French capital. The Notre Dame cathedral was badly damaged by fire in 2019 and its bourdon bell had only sounded just a couple of times since the devastating blaze."Ran out of apartment to make sure bells were from the Notre Dame.
And indeed, they were," Dayrit wrote on Facebook.FILE - Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral is seen almost three years after fire ravaged the emblematic monument on Feb.
