💨 Abstract

Pope Francis chose to be buried in St. Mary Major Basilica, near an icon of the Madonna he revered, because it reflects his humble, simple life. He will be buried in a niche tomb on Saturday after his funeral in St. Peter's Square. Francis' tomb will be simple, and he insisted people visit the basilica to venerate the Madonna, not his tomb.
