Pope Francis' extensive travels as the leader of the Catholic Church reflected his deep commitment to global outreach and humanitarian issues. His first journey outside Rome was to Lampedusa in 2013, symbolizing his attention to the migrant crisis. Over the years, he visited numerous countries, including war-torn areas and regions impacted by natural disasters. However, as his health declined, his movements became limited primarily to the Vatican. Following his death on April 21, an elaborate funeral procession highlighted the global significance of his papacy, characterized by multilingual prayers that represented universal faith and mourning.
As Pope Francis' health diminished, his once broad travels contracted to the Vatican, exemplifying the journey of a transformative leader as he prepared for his final earthly journey.
The pope's funeral procession included fourteen pallbearers and a poignant blend of clerics leading multilingual prayers, showcasing the universal impact of his leadership.
