Headline: FILE PHOTOS: Pope Francis Passes Away Aged 88

Caption: Pope Francis makes an afternoon visit to the Basilica of St. Mary Major (Santa Maria Maggiore) in Rome, Italy on December 14, 2024 to entrust his 47th Apostolic Journey abroad to the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Pope Francis said his tomb is ‘already prepared’ in the chapel Paolina of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. Unlike the majority of popes who have been interred beneath St Peter's Basilica, Pope Francis has reportedly made arrangements to be buried at Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome's Esquilino district. The basilica, one of the four major papal basilicas, has historically been the resting place of seven pope.
