00:00It's been one year since the death of Pope Francis.
00:04In keeping with his wishes, his tomb reflects his life through its simplicity.
00:09A plain marbled stone and an alcove in Rome's St. Mary Major Basilica.
00:14A replica of his simple iron cross hangs above.
00:19Francis died on April 21st, 2025 at the age of 88.
00:25Tens of thousands of people have since visited his grave.
00:30Of course, following the burial of Pope Francis in this basilica,
00:35we have welcomed a truly large number of pilgrims.
00:38The number of pilgrims has doubled.
00:42So many people are coming to pay their respects and to pray for this pontiff,
00:48who truly touched so many hearts.
00:52The basilica, which sits outside the Vatican,
00:55is where Francis used to come to pray before travelling abroad.
01:00Through his many trips over his 12-year papacy,
01:03he charmed the world with his humble style,
01:06but he alienated others with critiques of capitalism and climate change.
01:11He only changed, I think, some people, but not the world.
01:16And people will change the world, I hope so.
01:21Francis made his last public appearance on Easter Sunday at the Vatican,
01:25just one day before he died.
01:30Despite his delicate health,
01:32he wanted to tour St Peter's Square in the Popemobile
01:35and bless the faithful.
