File - Pope Francis At Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica - Rome
File photo - Pope Francis opened his first morning as pontiff by praying at Rome's main basilica, Santa Maria Maggiore (St Mary Major), dedicated to the Virgin Mary in Rome, Italy on March 14, 2014. Pope Francis said his tomb is ‘already prepared’ in the chapel Paolina of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. Unlike the majority of popes who have been interred beneath St Peter's Basilica, Pope Francis has reportedly made arrangements to be buried at Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome's Esquilino district. The basilica, one of the four major papal basilicas, has historically been the resting place of seven pope. Photo by (EV) Vatican Media/ABACAPRESS.COM
