Earlier, the bells of St. Peter were transported while his body was transported from the Vatican Hotel where he lived in Bazilica, accompanied by a procession of official Cardinals and Swiss guards through the same square in which the believers were received from Popmbeel only a few days ago in what became the latter.
Pallbearers carried the simple wooden coffin on their shoulders through the gates of the corridor in the Vatican, to the Saint Peter Square and to a church, and the Cardinate Caratering in their crimsus, and the bishops in their purple purals and the Swiss guards in their golden and blue costume while treating it slowly behind.

In pairs, the Cardinals approached the coffin, bent and issued a mark on the cross, followed by small groups of bishops, targets, priests and nuns.
It is expected that heads of state at the Francis funeral will be allowed on Saturday, but the three days of public watching in the basilica will allow the ordinary Catholics to the 88 -year -old Pope’s sadness, who died on Monday after suffering a stroke. The basilica has been kept open until midnight to accommodate the crowds, which is the mourning period that will end on Friday at 7 pm, when the coffin is closed in Francis and sealed.

The photos released by the Vatican on Tuesday showed Francis dumped in an open coffin, wearing the traditional pointed head covering of the bishops and red arrival, folded his hands over the rosary. The Vatican No. 2, Cardinal Petro Parolin, was photographed by Francis.
Once it entered Bazilica, the coffin was not placed in Francis at high-as was the case with the previous popes-but it was just placed on a tilted slope, the main altar in the sixteenth century Church, in the face of the seats, with four Swiss guards standing on its side. It was in line with Francis’ special desires for all the rituals surrounding the papal funeral to simplify and reflect the role of the Pope as a simple card, not as a global leader.
Farrell said from the altar: “See gently, O Lord, on the life of your servant and your actions, Pope Francis,” Farrell said of the altar. “I welcome it in the dwelling of the permanent light and peace and grant that your faithful people may warmly follow their steps, and attest to the Gospel of Jesus.”
