Novel
Pope Francis' death will be accompanied by a nine -day mourning term called Novemdiales, a tradition that dates back to Roman times.
The Vatican flags will fly at half of the Staphs, and the bronze doors of St. Peter's Basilica are closed.
The funeral should take place four -six days after the Pope's death. The weather that allows it will pass on St. Peter's Square. The most recent popes asked to be buried under the basilica, but Francis said he would be put on vacation in Roman Maria Maria Basilica. He also asked him to be buried in a simple wooden box.
The papal funeral is divided into three separate stages or “stations”. This is the preparation of the body, the body viewing, and then the funeral.
At the funerals involving the kings, the Queen, the heads of state and religious leaders, the coffin will be moved through the so -called “death doors” to the left of the main altar, and one bell will pay. Then the coffin will be lowered into a marble sarcophagus and covered with a stone slab.
During the nine -day period, the mourning of the Cardinals from all over the world gather in Rome and begin to meet in “common congregations”, a kind of campaigning period, when different papal candidates speak about their visions for the church, reflecting the direction they think.
Conclave

The Cardinals will throw off the ballots in their choice in the Vatican Sistine Chapel, repeating the process until the candidate appears with most of the two -thirds. The paper ballots are burned after each voting round, sending black smoke to signal that there is no choice, and finally white smoke to discover that a new pope was chosen.
