Designed by chief architect Philippe Villeneuve, this new rooster will replace the original that was damaged beyond repair in the blaze. The rooster, a French emblem of vigilance and Christ's resurrection, will house sacred relics inside it.
Before ascending to its perch, the rooster will be blessed by Paris Archbishop Laurent Ulrich. A sealed tube within the sculpture will list the names of nearly 2,000 individuals who contributed to the cathedral's reconstruction, underscoring the collective effort behind the works. French President Emmanuel Macron plans to display the original rooster in a new museum at the Hotel-Dieu.
