The sacred items found in Pope Francis' coffin

The passing of Pope Francis, known for his simplicity and dedication to the underprivileged, is commemorated through his unconventional funeral arrangements and personal belongings placed in his casket. The late pope's choice of a simple wooden coffin and a more private mourning process reflects his values of modesty and departure from traditional papal customs. His funeral will be held in St. Peter's Square on Saturday, with his burial at the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, marking a significant break from past papal funerals.
