Pope Francis passes away on April 21 at the age of 88. He is born in Argentina as Jorge Mario Bergoglio and makes history as the first Latin American and the first Jesuit to be elected Pope in 2013. His burial takes place outside the Vatican in a simple wooden coffin at the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore (Photo by Mauro Ujetto/NurPhoto).
