Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, Where Pope Francis Has Chosen to Be Buried
File photo - Pope Francis opens the Holy Door of the St. Mary Major's Basilica in Rome, Italy, January 1, 2015 to mark the Jubilee of Mercy, which began on December 8 and will conclude on November 20 2016. 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 Pool/ABACAPRESS.COM
