the angels are concerned for the head of St Denis
St Denis was martyred in the 3rd century, by beheading, on the hill that is now Montmartre, in Paris. Afterward, it is written, he picked up his head and walked two miles, preaching a sermon, until he reached the site where now stands the Basilica St-Denis.
About this place:
Notre Dame de Paris, known simply as Notre Dame in English, is a Gothic cathedral on the eastern half of the Île de la Cité in Paris, France, with its main entrance to the west. It is still used as a Roman Catholic cathedral and is the seat of the Archbishop of Paris. Notre Dame de Paris is widely considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture. It was restored and saved from destruction by Viollet-le-Duc, one of France's most famous architects. Notre Dame translates as "Our Lady" from French.
