Pope Francis Dies Aged 88

Pope Francis Dies Aged 88

File photo - Pope Francis presides over a mass at Place d'Austerlitz (U Casone) in Ajaccio, as part of his trip on the French island of Corsica, on December 15, 2024. Pope Francis visits Corsica, a stronghold of the Catholic faith with locals hotly anticipating the first-ever trip by a pontiff to the French Mediterranean island. His short trip, based around a congress on faith in the Mediterranean region, comes just a week after he snubbed the re-opening of Notre Dame cathedral in Paris five years after a devastating fire. -- Pope Francis died on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88 at his residence in the Vatican's Casa Santa Marta.

    Tomb Of Pope Francis At Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica - Rome

    People queue to see the tomb of Pope Francis on the first day of its opening to the public in Santa Maria Maggiore basilica in Rome, Italy on April 27, 2025. Pope Francis (1936-2025) wrote in his testament that he wanted to be buried in the left nave of the basilica Santa Maria Maggiore (St Mary Major). ‘I ask that my tomb be prepared in the burial niche in the side aisle between the Pauline Chapel and the Sforza Chapel of the Basilica. The tomb should be in the ground; simple, without particular ornamentation, bearing only the inscription: Franciscus’. 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
