Thousands of people had lined up to see the pope lying in state, and the Vatican had extended the basilica’s opening hours, welcoming visitors to pay their respects throughout the night due to the higher-than-expected turnout. St Peter’s Basilica closed for just an hour and a half on Thursday morning for cleaning.The Vatican said over 90,000 people had paid their respects by Thursday evening. He was being buried with his well-worn black shoes, including scuff marks on the toe \u2014 emblematic of his simple life.Cardinal Kevin Farrell presided over the closing and sealing of the coffin in his role of camerlengo, or interim Vatican administrator.Before the coffin was sealed, he placed white cloth over the pope\u2019s face, and a bag containing coins minted during his papacy was put in the coffin along with a one-page written account of his papacy.The account, called a rogito, summarises his whole life’s story, from his childhood in Argentina through his priesthood and eventual promotions to archbishop and cardinal in Buenos Aires \u2014 and then pope. It highlighted his \u201cdefence of innocents,\u201d his encyclicals and also his illnesses.\u201cHe was a simple and much-loved pastor in his archdiocese, who travelled far and wide, also by subway and bus,” read the text of the document, recounting his life as archbishop. \u201cHe lived in an apartment and he prepared dinner alone, so he could feel like an ordinary person.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
