A group of poor people will welcome
late Pope Francis's body at St Mary Major where he will be
buried Saturday, the Vatican said Thursday.
The body will be taken from St Peter's, where he has been lying
in state and viewed by tens of thousands, to the Marian basilica
at a walking pace on Saturday morning.
Santa Maria Maggiore was beloved of Francis who always prayed to
the Virgin there before and after foreign trips.
