The holy items inside Pope Francis’ casket
Pope Francis’s funeral arrangements break with centuries of Vatican tradition, reflecting his life of simplicity and humility. His coffin, made of modest wood and lined with zinc, contrasts with the elaborate caskets of past popes. Inside, items such as his rosary, mitre, crozier, minted coins, and the broken Fisherman’s Ring are included, each holding deep significance. The papal seal is destroyed before burial to mark the end of his papacy.
For the first time in over a century, a pope will be buried outside the Vatican. Pope Francis will be laid to rest at the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, not in St. Peter’s tombs. His funeral will take place on April 26 at 10 AM in St. Peter’s Square, and after the ceremony, his body will be taken to Santa Maria Maggiore.
The funeral breaks with tradition by keeping his coffin at floor level in St. Peter’s Basilica, allowing for a more intimate farewell. Pope Francis’s choices, both in life and death, emphasize humility, simplicity, and compassion, marking his lasting legacy.
