On Saturday morning (26), Pope Francis was buried in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. The funeral procession, which began in the square in front of St. Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican’s main, brought together over 250,000 people, including world leaders and British royalty members.
In addition, the date marks the first day of noveniali (novenary), the nine days of mourning and prayers in honor of the Pope. Several Roman cardinals will preside over the masses in St. Peter’s Basilica, which also precede the conclave, the secret electoral process that elects a new pontiff.
These celebrations are open to everyone. However, each day will count on the participation of a different group, taking into account their links with the Pontiff
