Pope Francis, who passed away on Monday morning at the age of 88, is expected to be laid to rest on Saturday, April 26, in Rome, Italy, in a burial that will be presided over by Cardinal Kevin Farrell, an Irish-born American Catholic archbishop.
While his funeral is expected to take place at St.
Peter's Square, the pontiff's body will be buried in a special tomb within the Vatican, per his wishes before demise.
The pontiff's coffin is expected to be sealed in a special ritual today (Friday), marking the end of the three days of public viewing of his body at St.
