Part 3/6:

As Pope Francis's coffin departed from St. Peter’s Square, onlookers and mourners alike reflected on the profound impact he had on global spirituality and peace. The mournful procession made its way through the Vatican City, ultimately arriving at its final resting place in St. Mary Major Basilica.

A Historic Farewell

According to Vatican News, this momentous occasion marked the first time in over 120 years that a pope was laid to rest outside the walls of St. Peter's Basilica. This choice underscored the unique legacy left behind by Pope Francis, who passed away on April 21, just a day after delivering his Easter blessing.
