<\/strong>Well, a lot of joy and a great sense of peace; I feel that he is at rest.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>It is beautiful; you feel a very special, sacred presence\u2026 I have no words to describe the feeling.

Since the early hours of the morning, the entrances of Saint Mary Major have once again been filled with pilgrims and visitors. Many have come from different parts of the world to pay tribute and pray at the Pope\u2019s tomb, located beside the altar of the historic Roman Basilica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Beautiful, peaceful, calm, international! There were a lot of people from all over the world.

<\/strong>I\u2019m very emotional because I arrived here on Friday to see him at the Basilica, at the funeral, and now\u2026 to see him here at the final moment.<\/em>
<\/em>The simplicity of the tomb reflects the lifestyle that characterized Pope Francis during his papacy. He wanted it to be simple, on the ground, and without any decoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Amazing. Truly beautiful. I mean all of the beautiful art and decoration that just showcases how much everyone cares and how much love and passion was brought into that. It was radiating off of everything<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>He has been a very, very people-oriented person, and it\u2019s clear by the people who are here in Rome this weekend.
<\/em>
The Basilica will remain open with extended hours to allow the maximum number of faithful to visit. In just one day, 20,000 people passed through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
