The Vatican announced that Pope Francis’ funeral will be held on Saturday, April 26, in front of St. Peter’s Basilica. His body will be buried in Rome’s Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica, honoring his wish—making him the first pope in over a century not to be buried in the Vatican.
An image of the Pope’s body in an open coffin at Santa Marta chapel was shared. US President Donald Trump, France’s Emmanuel Macron, Argentina’s Javier Milei, and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskiy are expected to attend the ceremony. Pope Francis died from a stroke and heart failure.
