On April 26, 2025, the world said goodbye to Pope Francis, a humble leader who inspired millions with his compassion. Over 400,000 mourners, including 50 world leaders, gathered in Rome for a heartfelt farewell. His plain cypress coffin and a simple tomb bearing just "Franciscus" reflected his lifelong humility.
Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re praised him as a pope "with an open heart," championing the poor, peace, and unity across the globe. His legacy of building "bridges, not walls" lives on.
