STORYLINE:
The popemobile used by Pope Francis during his 2024 visit to East Timor was paraded through the streets of Dili on Saturday ahead of the city’s Requiem Mass.
The popemobile, as well as a Toyota mini van also used by Francis, were put on display at Taci Tolu field, where the late pope led a mass during his 2024 visit.
Mourners prepared displays of flower arrangements and banners ahead of the Mass expected for the late afternoon on Saturday.
At the Vatican, Pope Francis is being laid to rest Saturday in a ceremony reflecting his priorities as pope and wishes as pastor: Presidents and princes will attend his funeral in St. Peter’s Square, but prisoners and migrants will usher him into the basilica where he will be buried.
As many as 200,000 people are expected to attend the funeral, which Francis choreographed himself when he revised and simplified the Vatican’s rites and rituals last year.
His aim was to emphasize the pope’s role as a mere priest and not “a powerful man of this world,” the Vatican said.
