Pope Francis passed away on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88, due to a stroke and subsequent heart failure. His death was confirmed by the Vatican, marking the end of a transformative papacy that emphasized humility, compassion, and inclusivity.
Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Buenos Aires, Argentina, he became the first Jesuit and the first Latin American pope when elected in 2013. His leadership was characterized by a focus on social justice, environmental stewardship, and outreach to marginalized communities.
Pope Francis's final public appearance was on Easter Sunday, where he delivered the traditional "Urbi et Orbi" blessing. His passing has prompted a period of mourning and the initiation of the conclave process to elect his successor.
In accordance with his wishes, he will be buried in the Basilica of Saint Mary Major in Rome, breaking with the tradition of papal burials in St. Peter’s Basilica.
