Vatican Shares Images of Pope Francis' Tomb

The Vatican has unveiled photographs of Pope Francis' final resting place, located in Rome's Basilica of Saint Mary Major, during a viewing that started on Sunday.

On Sunday morning, the tomb was made available for public visitation. According to Vatican officials, cardinals residing in Rome, as well as those who have journeyed to the city for Pope Francis' funeral, are anticipated to pay homage at the site in the afternoon.

Cardinals to Pay Homage

The cardinals are expected to enter through the Holy Door, visit the tomb, and then proceed to the chapel housing the image of the Virgin Mary, known as Salus Populi Romani.

Pope Francis, who passed away last Monday at age 88, has made history as the first pope in over a century to be interred outside the Vatican walls. This marks the first papal burial at Saint Mary Major in more than three centuries.
