Pope Francis dies at 88, to be buried at Santa Maria Maggiore

Pope Francis, head of the Roman Catholic Church and the first non-European pontiff in nearly 1,300 years, died on April 21 at his Casa Santa Marta residence at the age of 88.

The death of the Pope came about four weeks after being discharged from a hospital in Rome, recovering from bilateral pneumonia. According to the Vatican, he passed away from a stroke at 7:35 a.m.

Although his medical team reported that his condition had stabilized, his passing came unexpectedly, just hours after a public appearance in St. Peter’s Square.

The Vatican announced that his funeral will take place on Saturday at 10 a.m. in St. Peter’s Square to accommodate the public, with simple ceremonies and an open casket per his wishes.

Pope Francis will be laid to rest in Santa Maria Maggiore, making him the first pope in over a century to be buried outside the Vatican. He chose the church due to his strong devotion to Mary and the church’s venerated Byzantine Mary icon, Salus Populi Romani, where he prayed before and after each of his overseas trips.

Black Saturday, also known as Holy Saturday, marks the quietest day of Holy Week. It is a time of deep reflection and mourning as Christians remember the period when Jesus lay in the tomb after His crucifixion. This day reminds us that even in silence and sorrow, God’s promise remains.

As we await the joy of the Resurrection, Black Saturday teaches us the value of patience, faith, and the quiet strength that comes from trusting God’s timing. It is a sacred pause where we reflect, remember, and prepare our hearts for the light of Easter Sunday.
