Pope Francis Dies at 88 on Easter Monday
Pope Francis passed away on April 21, 2025, at age 88, following ongoing health issues. His final public appearance came on Easter Sunday, where he offered a brief blessing from a wheelchair.
Despite his illness, he delivered a final message—calling for peace in Gaza, an end to antisemitism, and global respect for human rights. His papacy, the first from the Americas, was defined by humility, reform, and compassion for the marginalized.
Tributes are pouring in worldwide as the world mourns a beloved spiritual leader whose legacy of mercy and justice endures.
