💨 Abstract

Pope Francis was buried in Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica, a break from tradition as no pope has been laid to rest outside the Vatican in over a century. The decision was made due to its location in Rome's multicultural neighborhood. Thousands of people paid their respects, with around 150,000 lining the route to his funeral Mass in St. Peter's square.
