Pope Francis' funeral to be held today in Vatican City.
The funeral begins at 10 am local time (4 am ET) in St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City, after three days of lying in state at St. Peter’s Basilica, where tens of thousands of mourners paid their respects. Unlike his predecessors, who were buried in three nested coffins made of cypress, lead, and elm (symbolizing humility, protection, and dignity), Pope Francis chose to be buried in a wooden coffin. Francis died Monday at the age of 88 of a stroke and irreversible heart failure. See how the next pope is elected here.
