Pope Francis, the 266th head of the Roman Catholic Church, died on April 21 at the age of 88.

Over 250,000 people gathered to pay their respects to the late pontiff, Vatican authorities said.
After 12 years of serving as the 266th head of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis died on April 21 at the age of 88.
Thousands of people paid their respects as the pontiff’s body lay in state inside St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City in the days before his burial in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome.
Saturday’s funeral Mass was attended by world leaders, including President Donald Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
A new pope will be chosen by the College of Cardinals in a papal election known as the conclave.
