Pope Francis' coffin was sealed in St. Peter's Basilica on Friday evening, April 26, ahead of his funeral at St. Peter's Square on Saturday. This video captured crowds lining both sides of Via dei Fori Imperiali in Rome,

The six-kilometer funeral procession that carried Pope Francis from St. Peter's to St. Mary Major was filled with profound symbolism, from the Dodge Ram popemobile serving as hearse to white roses representing his devotion to St.

Most of the funeral will be celebrated in Latin, and there will be incense and hymns and Gregorian chants. Attended by dozens of heads of state, monarchs and other dignitaries, it will be, in any case, a spectacle. And at the center of it all will be Francis’ simple coffin, on the esplanade of St. Peter’s Basilica.
