Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 09:58:14 GMT

Paris (CNN) — The spire of Notre Dame, crowned by a brand new golden rooster, regained its place in the Paris skyline last week.As tourists and Parisians gathered outside the UNESCO-listed cathedral to admire the return of one of its most emblematic features — for now, still encased in scaffolding — the Notre Dame worksite remained in full swing. Nearly 500 craftspeople are busy with rebuilding efforts, working to ensure the Parisian landmark is ready for its grand reopening to the public less than a year from now.“It’s fascinating to see how something of such historical value is being restored,” said Stephan Book, a tourist visiting Paris from Sweden with his daughter and 80-year-old father. “And the ambition to do it all in five years,” he added, “It’s like when Kennedy said (humans) were going to the moon.”On a recent visit to the construction site, President Emmanuel Macron promised works were “on schedule” for Notre Dame to open to the public on December 8, 2024, five years and...

La verdadera historia del origen de la Navidad

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 09:58:14 GMT

(CNN Español) — ¿Nació Jesús un 25 de diciembre? Millones de cristianos celebran este día la Navidad, pero lo cierto es que en la Biblia —y específicamente los Evangelios, que es donde se narran episodios de su vida— no hay mención a una fecha específica de su nacimiento.De hecho, las primeras comunidades cristianas ni siquiera celebraban el nacimiento de Jesús. Para rastrear las menciones a esta festividad hay que remontarse recién al siglo IV después de Cristo (del año 300 al 400).Los historiadores tienen información certera de que por entonces, la época en la que el Imperio romano se estaba convirtiendo a la religión cristiana oficialmente, tanto aquellos que creían en Jesús como los paganos —que creían en múltiples dioses— tenían celebraciones en un mismo día: el 25 de diciembre.Ni China ni Corea del Norte: la historia del país de América Latina que “eliminó” la Navidad del calendario oficial hace más de 100 añosPor qué se empieza a celebrar la NavidadEn esa ép...

Despite the loss, the Bulls still sit 10th overall in the Eastern Conference — a small but important step up in the standings.Here are four takeaways from the game.1. Offense is out of sync as 3-point shooting dipsAfter weeks of playing a high-tempo, high-assist style, the Bulls got stuck in a stymied offense against the Cavaliers.

White went 0-for-8 in his first game without a 3-pointer since Nov. 17.“I hate to say it, but it’s just one of those games,” DeMar DeRozan said. R...
