The Papal funeral is a solemn occasion that allows the Church and its followers to honor Pope Francis’ life and legacy.

The funeral follows specific rituals and traditions established by the Church. These traditions emphasize the pope's role as the Vicar of Christ and underscore the continuity of the papacy that began with Peter the fisherman and Apostle.

This funeral also marks a pivotal moment in the transition between papacies. It will lead into the conclave, where the College of Cardinals gathers to elect a new pope.

This transition is significant for the future of the Church and the world.
