The Vatican claims that during the late Pope’s three-day lying-in state, 250,000 mourners paid their respects.
Today, April 26, is Pope Francis’ burial, and world leaders are assembling to grieve the death of the head of the Catholic Church.
It is anticipated that almost half a million people will attend the outdoor service.
In a departure from custom, the Pope’s remains will be carried from the burial through the streets of Rome to an underground tomb in the basilica of Saint Mary Major, per his desire.
