Pope Francis passed away on Monday, just a day after making a surprise appearance at Easter celebrations in St Peter's Square. Despite his health struggles, he blessed the crowd, delivering what would be his final public words. His death, attributed to a stroke and heart failure, shocked many, especially those who had seen him just hours before. The Pope had a busy schedule leading up to Easter, meeting various dignitaries and visiting prisoners. His humble residence, Casa Santa Marta, was where he spent his final moments. Following his death, preparations began for the conclave to choose his successor.
