Pope Francis’ body arrives in San Pedro Basilica





At 4 in the morning, the time of Brazil, the body of Pope Francis was brought by Santa Marta House to the Basilica of San Pietro for the beginning of the wake of the Vatican. The visit should start around 6 on Wednesday 23.

Around 4:35, the coffin was placed inside the basilica. Along the way, the faithful accompanied the stopped, silent and electrified movement: the square of San Pietro was crowded.

The ceremony, which precedes the beginning of the public visit to the body, led to a procession, in which the religious sang Psalms along the way.

Inside the basilica, sacred water and incense were also used at the ceremony. So, around 5 in the morning, the word liturgy began.

The funeral – with the presence of heads of state – was scheduled for Saturday, at 5 in the morning, now of Brazil – 10 hours in the Vatican.

Francisco died on Monday 21, at the age of 88. He suffered a stroke and had heart failure.
