Pontiff is buried in the Basilica of Santa Maria Majore – one of the four major Papal Basils in Rome.
Pope Francis’ funeral will take place for nine days. This was reported on Monday, April 21.
It is noted that the pontiff funeral will pass for nine days, and the conclave for his successor election – within a month.
Francis will be buried in the Basilica of Santa Maria Majore – one of the four major Papal Basils in Rome. He will be the first father of more than a century to be buried outside the Vatican.
Earlier, Pontiff approved plans to simplify the Papal funeral procedure. In particular, the body will be placed in a simple wooden tomb, lined with zinc, rather than three coffins from Cypress, lead and oak, where previous pontiffs are buried in each other.
Francis also canceled the tradition of putting the pope’s body on the raised platform on St. Peter’s basilica for a common view. Instead, people will honor him, while the body is in a casket with an open cover.
Remember, on April 21, the leader of the Catholic Church Pope Francis died at the age of 88. He has led the holy throne since 2013.
What’s next? Vatican with no daddy
