    Vatican Releases Pictures Of Pope Francis In Open Casket

    The Vatican on Tuesday released the first official photographs of Pope Francis lying in repose in an open casket, marking the beginning of the mourning period following his passing.

    The poignant images, shared by the Holy See, depict the late pontiff dressed in red liturgical vestments and a bishop’s mitre, with a rosary delicately placed between his folded hands.

    The funeral is expected to be held between Friday and Sunday.

    In a departure from traditional burial practices, Pope Francis requested in his final testament to be interred at the Basilica of Saint Mary Major in Rome instead of the customary resting place at St. Peter’s Basilica.

    His body may be transferred to St. Peter’s as early as Wednesday, allowing the faithful to pay their last respects.
