YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Cardinal Rolandas Makrickas, a senior priest at the Basilica of St Mary Major, where Pope Francis will be buried, told reporters on the eve of his funeral, April 25, that the pontiff's final resting place will reflect his life in its humble and simple style.

Eschewing much of the Vatican's traditional pomp, Francis has opted for simpler funeral rites and will become the first pope in over a century to be buried outside the Vatican. His chosen resting place is one of the four main sites of Christendom, a site dear to him because of his devotion to Mary, Mother of God.
