The funeral of Pope Francis will take place on Saturday, April 26, at 10:00 am. (08:00 GMT) at St. Peter’s Basilica, as announced by the Vatican in a statement, cited by Reuters. Franciscan, 88, died Monday after a stroke and cardiac arrest, as the Vatican announced, ending a often hectic leadership in which he repeatedly clashed with traditional and defended the poor and marginalized. Pontiff spent five weeks in the hospital earlier this year due to double pneumonia. But he returned to his home in the Vatican almost a month ago and seemed to recover, appearing on St. Peter’s Square on Easter Sunday. His sudden death put ancient rituals in motion, as the 1.4 billion church began the transition from one Pope to another, including the destruction of the “fisherman’s ring” and the pope’s lead stamp so that they could not be used.
