The funeral of Pope Francis will take place on Saturday morning in the presence of a large number of faithful and leaders of states, after which convener will be convened.
“Thank you for bringing me back to St. Peter’s Square”: these words by Pope Francis to his personal nurse who encouraged him to take a last ride with the specially designed motor vehicle on Easter Sunday, were one of the last phrases of Pontificals.
After the traditional blessing of Urbi et Orbi from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica, Pope Francis appeared with “Popemobile” in St. Peter’s Square, to the surprise of the thousands of believers who had gathered for Easter.
Before starting, he asked his personal nurse Masimiliano Stavi: “Do you think I can do it?” And Straptti reassured him. He then stayed in the corridors of the square for almost fifteen minutes and blessed babies in a warm atmosphere, surrounded by numerous bodyguards.
According to Vatican News, the Pope then rested in his apartment at his residence in Santa Martha in the Vatican in the afternoon and then dinned.
On Monday, around 5:30 in the morning (6:30 in the morning of Greece), the first signs of sickness appeared. More than an hour later, after nodding to Stavi, he fell into a coma and died at 7:35 local time.
“It didn’t suffer, everything was done very quickly,” they told Vatican News.
