Poles Pay Tribute To Pope Benedict XVI
A portrait of Pope Benedict XVI with a black mourning ribbon displayed on the altar in the Corpus Christi Basilica in Krakow. The election of Benedict as pope took place during the 2005 conclave, which followed the death of John Paul II. After his resignation in February 2013, Benedict chose to be known as 'Pope emeritus' and retained this title until his death on December 31, 2022, at the age of 95. Benedict's funeral will be held on January 5th in St. Peter's Square and will be celebrated by Pope Francis. On Tuesday, January 03, 2023, in Krakow, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland.
