Notre Dame Cathedral will not hold a midnight mass service this Christmas, following a fire that ravaged it’s Gothic architecture on April 15.

The Paris Cathedral has been closed to the public since then, but the recent news means it will be the first time in over 200 years that the Christmas service won’t be taking place.

“This is the first time since the French Revolution that there will be no midnight Mass (at Notre Dame),” cathedral rector Patrick Chauvet told The Associated Press.

The over 800 year-old landmark’s roof and spire were destroyed in this year’s fire. Since then, worshippers have been encouraged to visit churches nearby.

“We have the opportunity to celebrate the Mass outside the walls, so to speak… but with some indicators that Notre Dame is connected to us,” Chauvet said.
