ð—Ēð—Ą 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕ð—Ļð—Ĩ𝗜𝗔𝗟 ð—Ē𝗙 𝗔 ð—Ģð—Ēð—Ģ𝗘: Everything You Should Know

When a Pope dies, centuries-old traditions unfold with deep reverence. Here's what happens:

1. 𝗕𝘂ð—ŋð—ķð—Ūð—đ 𝗧ð—ķ𝗚ð—ēð—đð—ķð—ŧð—ē

The Pope must be buried between the 4th and 6th day after his death. For example, Pope Benedict XVI passed on December 31, 2022, and was buried on January 5, 2023 — six days later.

Before the burial:

His body is typically placed in the Clementine Chapel inside St. Peter’s Basilica for public veneration.

The funeral Mass is then held either at the main altar inside or outside in St. Peter’s Square.

2. 𝗧ð—ĩð—ē 𝗧ð—ŋð—Ūð—ąð—ķ𝘁ð—ķ𝗞ð—ŧ 𝗞ð—ģ 𝗧ð—ĩð—ŋð—ēð—ē 𝗖𝗞ð—ģð—ģð—ķð—ŧ𝘀: Why So Many?

The Pope is laid to rest in three coffins, each with symbolic meaning:

Cypress Coffin: Symbolizes humility — a reminder that even the Pope is a simple man before God.

Inside:

A copy of the funeral Mass

Three bags of gold, silver, and copper coins — each coin representing a year of his pontificate.

(Not to bribe the gate of heaven! Just a powerful symbol of legacy.)

Lead (Zinc) Coffin: Represents the endurance of papal authority.

Inside:

Documents sealed with the Pope’s official seal.

His name, pontificate dates, and a skull and crossbones engraved on the lid.

Elm (or Oak) Coffin: Symbolizes dignity and nobility.

A parchment scroll in a copper tube listing the Pope’s key achievements is placed inside.

The coffin is sealed with golden nails and tied with violet silk ropes, then stamped with wax seals of the Chamberlain and the Cardinal Dean.

3. 𝗊ð—ĩ𝘆 ð—Ĩð—ēð—ą 𝗖ð—ĩð—Ū𝘀𝘂ð—Ŋð—đð—ē𝘀?

Popes are traditionally buried in red vestments. Red signifies a readiness to shed blood for the faith, and recalls the Passion of Christ and the martyrs of the Church.

4. 𝗊ð—ĩ𝘆 ð—Ĩð—ēð—ą ð—Ķð—ĩ𝗞ð—ē𝘀?

Red shoes are an ancient papal tradition, symbolizing:

The Pope’s authority

Christ’s sacrifice

The martyrs’ blood

Popes like Paul VI, John Paul I, and John Paul II were buried in red shoes.

Pope Benedict XVI set his aside after resigning and wasn’t buried with them.

Pope Francis, in his humility, chose to wear simple black shoes throughout his pontificate.

5. 𝗊ð—ĩð—ēð—ŋð—ē 𝗔ð—ŋð—ē ð—Ģð—žð—―ð—ē𝘀 𝗕𝘂ð—ŋð—ķð—ēð—ą?

Most Popes are buried in the Vatican Grottoes beneath St. Peter’s Basilica.

91 Popes rest there today.

Visitors can see the tombs along the basilica’s lower corridors.

Pope Benedict XVI was buried in the former tomb of John Paul II, who was moved after his canonization.

Pope Francis will follow this tradition.

6. 𝗊ð—ĩð—Ū𝘁 𝗛ð—Ūð—―ð—―ð—ēð—ŧ𝘀 𝗧𝗞 𝗧ð—ĩð—ē ð—Ģð—žð—―ð—ē’𝘀 ð—Ĩð—ķð—ŧð—ī?

The Fisherman’s Ring, a symbol of papal authority, is destroyed by the Camerlengo after the Pope’s death — in the presence of cardinals.

Why?

To prevent forgery

To mark the end of the Pope’s authority

7. 𝗊ð—ĩ𝗞 𝗧ð—Ūð—ļð—ē𝘀 𝗖ð—ĩð—Ūð—ŋð—īð—ē 𝗔ð—ģ𝘁ð—ēð—ŋ 𝗧ð—ĩð—ē ð—Ģð—žð—―ð—ē 𝗗ð—ķð—ē𝘀?

The Camerlengo, or Chamberlain, assumes temporary authority over Vatican affairs.

He certifies the death

Oversees burial rites

Organizes the Conclave for electing the next Pope

Summons all cardinals to Rome

8. 𝗊ð—ĩ𝗞 𝗖ð—ēð—đð—ēð—Ŋð—ŋð—Ū𝘁ð—ē𝘀 𝗧ð—ĩð—ē 𝗙𝘂ð—ŧð—ēð—ŋð—Ūð—đ 𝗠ð—Ū𝘀𝘀?

The Dean of the College of Cardinals traditionally leads the funeral.

Example: Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI) celebrated Pope John Paul II’s funeral in 2005.
