The Body Of Pope Francis Is At St. Peter's For The Homage Of The Faithful.
Pope Francis lies in the coffin with the papal mitre, the solemn headdress worn by the highest authorities of the Church, and with the rosary in his hands. The body is wrapped in the red liturgical robe, in a simple wooden coffin. The coffin rests on the ground and not on the catafalque in front of the Confession altar. Thousands of faithful pay homage to him in Vatican City, on April 23, 2025, at St. Peter's Basilica. (Photo by Andrea Mancini/NurPhoto)
