YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The funeral of Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday at the age of 88, will take place on Saturday morning, the Holy See said in a statement Tuesday.

The mass will be celebrated by the dean of the College of Cardinals, Giovanni Battista Re, according to the statement, while the pontiff’s body will be on public display from Wednesday for mourners to pay their respects.

The pope’s funeral will draw major political figures to Rome at a time of escalating geopolitical tensions.

US President Donald Trump said on Monday that he and first lady Melania Trump will attend the funeral, embarking on the first foreign trip of his second term to honor the late spiritual leader. A day before his death, Francis met with US Vice President JD Vance, a recent Catholic convert.
