In Rome, Italy, on April 26, 2025, Regina Tana holds a sign that reads ''saint immediately'' with a picture of Pope Francis outside the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore after the funeral of Pope Francis. Pope Francis dies on April 21 at the age of 88. Born in Argentina as Jorge Mario Bergoglio, he is the first Latin American and the first Jesuit to become Pope when elected in 2013. Taking the name Francis after St. Francis of Assisi, he promotes a more humble version of the papacy than many of his predecessors. He is buried outside of the Vatican in a simple wooden coffin at the Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore on April 26, 2025, in Rome, Italy.
