1. Pope Francis’ coffin on back of popemobile leaving St. Peter’s Square
STORYLINE:
Pope Francis’ coffin left St. Peter’s Square in a procession to his final resting place in St. Mary Major Basilica.
World leaders and Catholic faithful bade farewell to Francis in a funeral Saturday that highlighted his concern for the “most peripheral of the peripheries” and reflected his wishes as pastor.
Though presidents and princes attended the Mass in St. Peter’s Square, prisoners and migrants will welcome him at the basilica across town where he will be buried.
Some 250,000 people flocked to the funeral, held on a brilliant spring day that was supposed to have been a special Holy Year celebration for adolescents.
