The public can now visit the tomb of Pope Benedict XVI in the grottoes under St. Peter’s Basilica.
Funeral of Pope Benedict begins in St Peter's Square
The remains were placed in the former tomb of Benedict's predecessor, St. John Paul II. John Paul's remains were moved up to a chapel on the main floor of the basilica following his 2011 beatification. The name of Benedict, the Catholic church's 265th pontiff, was engraved on a white marble slab, the Vatican said.
Later, greeting pilgrims and tourists gathered in St. Peter’s Square for his Sunday noon blessing, Francis quoted from a 2008 homily by Benedict, in which the late pontiff spoke about salvation.
