The Rosary prayer takes place at Santa Maria Maggiore basilica in Rome on Saturday, April 26, where Pope Francis was buried at his personal request.
Pope Francis, the first pontiff from the Global South, passed away on Monday from a stroke and heart failure at the age of 88. It followed a lengthy battle with pneumonia and prolonged hospitalisation earlier this year.
Francis was born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Buenos Aires. He became a cardinal under Pope John Paul II in 2001, and succeeded Benedict XVI in 2013. His tenure saw him focus on issues like social justice, climate change, migration and the most marginalised people in society, although he saw some criticism across the spectrum for either not going far enough - or even going too far.
