World Bids Farewell to Pope Francis Amid Massive Funeral and Last Ride in Popemobile

Pope Francis has been laid to rest following a grand funeral attended by approximately 250,000 mourners in Rome and around the world. His mortal remains were buried in St. Mary Major, as the crowds celebrated his legacy as a champion of the poor and a promoter of Eastern Catholic traditions. A popemobile, historically significant in his papacy, was used for the funeral procession, marking his final journey. Pope Francis, who passed away at the age of 88, is remembered not only for his spiritual leadership but also for his love of cars, including a recent electric popemobile gifted by Mercedes. The world reflects on his apostolic journeys, humble nature, and the profound impact he made during his time as a global leader.
