Members of the public waited for hours to pay their respects to Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI as his body lies in state in St. Peter’s Basilica.<\/p>\n

As daylight broke, 10 white-gloved Papal Gentlemen \u2014 lay assistants to pontiffs and papal households \u2014 carried the body on a cloth-covered wooden stretcher up the center aisle of the mammoth basilica to its resting place in front of the main altar under Bernini’s towering bronze canopy.<\/p>\n

According to The Associated Press, a Swiss Guard saluted as the body was brought in via a side door after Benedict’s remains, placed in a van, had been transferred from the chapel of the monastery grounds<\/a> where the late pontiff died at the age of 95 on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

Thousands of people braved the damp weather to view Benedict’s body. The line of people snaked around St. Peter’s Square.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Around 25,000 people are expected to pass by the body on the first day of viewing.<\/p>\n

Public viewing lasts for 10 hours on Monday in St. Peter\u2019s Basilica.<\/a> Twelve hours of viewing are scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday before Thursday morning\u2019s funeral, which will be led by Pope Francis, at St. Peter\u2019s Square.<\/p>\n

The service will be open to the public and the Vatican has provided contacts for Catholics worldwide<\/u><\/a> wishing to concelebrate the mass remotely.<\/p>\n

Benedict was elected to the papacy in 2005. He later claimed that he prayed he would not be chosen throughout the conclave but was forced to accept what he believed was God calling him to greater service<\/u><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In February 2013, at 85 years old, Benedict became the first pope in 600 years to resign from his post<\/u>.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise [of the pontificate],” he said at that time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On June 29, 2021, Benedict celebrated the Platinum Jubilee \u2014 70th anniversary \u2014 of his ordination into the priesthood<\/u>.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n
