Pope Francis's body lies in state in an open coffin at the Casa Santa Marta chapel. Images show the late Pope dressed in red robes, holding a rosary, and wearing a simple silver ring, a departure from the Fisherman's Ring tradition. Cardinal Kevin Farrell, the camerlengo, officiated the declaration of death. Pope Francis's simple wooden coffin, a contrast to previous papal burials, and the chapel's Trinitarian symbolism are highlighted. His body will be moved to St. Peter's Basilica on Wednesday for public viewing before Saturday's funeral.
