Headline: FILE PHOTOS: Pope Francis Passes Away Aged 88

Caption: Pope Francis is praying in the chapel Paolina of the basilica Santa Maria Maggiore (St Mary Major) in front of the Marian icon ‘Salus Populi Romani’ on April 1, 2023 in Rome, Italy. Pope Francis said his tomb is ‘already prepared’ in the chapel Paolina of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. Unlike the majority of popes who have been interred beneath St Peter's Basilica, Pope Francis has reportedly made arrangements to be buried at Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome's Esquilino district. The basilica, one of the four major papal basilicas, has historically been the resting place of seven pope.
