The traditional procession commemorates the Passion of the Lord, a Christian Easter celebration during Holy Week.

A massive fire broke out at the Notre Dame on Monday evening, resulting in the collapse of the cathedral's spire and two-thirds of its roof. However, firefighters managed to extinguish the blaze by Tuesday morning, saving the historic building and the relics it housed.
