Thousands gathered in Rome on Sunday to pay their respects to Pope Francis at his tomb in the Santa Maria Maggiore basilica. In a departure from tradition, the Pope chose to be buried outside the Vatican, marking the first time in over a century that a pope was laid to rest elsewhere.
His coffin was brought to the basilica after his funeral Mass in St. Peter's Square, where around 150,000 people gathered to bid farewell. The simple marble tomb, inscribed with his name "Franciscus" in Latin and a cross above, reflected his humility.
Visitors began queuing early, and the church quickly filled with mourners. Santa Maria Maggiore was particularly meaningful to the Pope, who often prayed there due to his devotion to Mary, Mother of God. A Byzantine icon of Mary is housed near the tomb, where visitors left flowers and rosaries.
Locals and pilgrims expressed their admiration for the Pope’s simplicity and connection with people, describing him as approachable and impactful.
