Pope Francis died today at the age of 88. The cause of death was an infection that turned into dual pneumonia and led to renal failure. During the 12 years of his reign, he became the symbol of spiritual renewal, and now he became a real revolutionary in the traditions of Catholic rituals.
For the first time in 100 years, the father will not be buried in Santa Maria-Majore Basilica, not the Vatican. Yes, Francis himself made this historical decision throughout his life. The body will be placed in a simple wooden coffin with a zinc attachment. As it was traditional before, there are no triple coffins from Cypress, lead and oak. Reports Daily Mail.
The tradition was canceled when the Pope’s body was exhibited on a hee in the Cathedral of St. Peter. Instead, a closed coffin with an open lid: everyone will be able to say goodbye to a more intimate, modest atmosphere.
