Pope Francis Dies Aged 88

File photo - Pope Francis inaugurated on December 13, 2019 in Rome, Italy the new Vatican headquarters of 'Scholas Occurrentes', a pontifical organization involved in education in 190 countries around the world. The foundation, a benefit Organisation, whose name means "schools that meet" in Spanish, links technology with the arts, aiming at social integration and a cultural of peace. Francis had created a similar organisation when he was Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio in Buenos Aires, but Scholas has now become an international foundation working out of the Vatican. -- 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

            The tomb of late Pope Francis in the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore 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’.
