How Pope Benedict XVI Will Be Buried – Vatican

How Pope Benedict XVI will be buried has been revealed by the Vatican.

 

Glamtush reports that the Vatican has disclosed how Pope Emeritus, Benedict XVI, will be buried on Thursday.

This online platform understands that the information was contained in a post via its verified Twitter handle.

The Vatican said the coffin of Pope Emeritus was closed on Wednesday based on tradition.

Glamtush earlier reported that emeritus Pope Benedict XVI, born Joseph Aloisius Ratzinger in Marktl, Southeastern Germany on April 16, 1927, died on 31 December, 2022 at the age of 95. Before his death, he had encountered a sudden decline in his health due to age.

“Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI’s coffin was closed in a ritual held Wednesday evening. As per tradition, the Pope Emeritus’ pallia, coins and medals minted during his pontificate, and a ‘rogito’ summarizing the highlights of his papacy, were also placed inside the casket.

“Following the Requiem Mass, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI’s coffin will be transported through the Basilica and to the Vatican crypt for burial, in the first tomb of John Paul II.

“He will be buried in the traditional triple coffin, with caskets made of cypress wood, zinc, and oak,” part of the statement read.
