The Vatican has unveiled the initial image and footage of Pope Francis lying in repose, adorned in red liturgical attire. The 88-year-old pontiff passed away due to a cerebral stroke, as Dr. Andrea Arcangeli verified. In a departure from tradition, Pope Francis expressed his wish for a simple burial at the Papal Basilica of St. Mary Major, deviating from the customary practice of interring popes at St. Peter’s Basilica.
