† Pope Francis's funeral †

 


Pope Francis´ funeral (BBC)

 The funeral will take place on Saturday, April 26, starting at 10:00 a.m. Rome time, when Vatican Radio - Vatican News will broadcast the entire Requiem Mass live, followed by a procession with the Pope's coffin from St. Peter's Square to the Basilica of St. Mary Major, where he will be buried according to his wishes.

 Santa Maria Maggiore (Saint Mary Major) is the largest of the churches dedicated to the Virgin Mary in Rome. It was built in the 5th century on the ruins of an Augustan building. It is said that Pope Liberius (352-66) had a dream in which the Virgin Mary asked him to build a church for her in a place where it snowed. Snow fell on the Esquiline Hill on the 5th of August, and so the pope had a church built for Mary.

Home after...

    Home ...and home before  This is my childhood home. It is currently owned by my brothers. They take good care of it. The house is in good condition. They have also kept the fields in good condition and have not planted a forest on them ♥  The house is located in a beautiful location in peaceful surroundings.  I visit there now and then.
