Pope Francis was buried on April 26, 2025, at the Basilica of Saint Mary Major in Rome, following a solemn funeral Mass held at St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City. The ceremony, led by Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, fulfilled the late pontiff’s wish for a simple, humble burial. Over 130 international delegations attended, including 50 heads of state such as Donald Trump, Emmanuel Macron, and Volodymyr Zelensky. With heightened security and thousands of mourners in attendance, the funeral marked the end of a transformative 12-year papacy. (PC: AP)
