The passing of Pope Francis has left a profound sense of loss across the Catholic world, and Ghana has been no exception.
Following news of his death on Easter Monday, Catholics in the Ashanti Region found a meaningful way to pay tribute to a leader whose life was defined by humility, service, and compassion.
Just a day earlier, Pope Francis had appeared on Easter Sunday to deliver his final Urbi et Orbi blessing, offering prayers of hope to a world he served faithfully until the end.
His burial took place on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at the Basilica of Saint Mary Major in Rome, with Vatican Media later sharing a moving image of his tomb, a symbol of quiet finality for the millions he touched.
