Vatican Sets Pope Funeral Date & Releases Images Of Pontiff Lying In Open Casket; First Confirmed Guests Include Trump, Zelensky & Prince William
The Vatican has announced that Pope Francis ’s funeral will be held on Saturday (April 26) and released images of the pontiff lying in a simple wooden open casket in the chapel of the Santa Marta guesthouse as well as his last words. Pope Francis’s coffin will be transferred from the chapel of the Santa Marta guesthouse to Saint Peter’s Basilica on Wednesday morning (April 23), where it will be placed by the main alter for the public to visit and pay their final respects. Vatican Media will be running a multi-camera live signal of the funeral but news agencies and networks are also setting up on balconies and terraces overlooking St Peter’s Square, many of which were secured by monthly retainers years ago for substantial amounts of money.
