This is the tomb of Pope Paul VI who died in Rome three decades ago. Soon after that, he was buried in the crypt beneath St. Peter’s Basilica. Upon seeing the various Popes who were also buried with their names written on the gravestone, surprisingly, it was the name of Pope Paul VI that caught my attention.
At the time of his death, I clearly remember him as the head of the catholic church. I can’t quite believe that I was able to see his resting place right there. People were really quiet and at the same time their eyes were full of amazement while they were looking around. Most of the gravestones were made from marble like the whole building as well. It was obscenely rich.
We had a wonderful experience in St Peter’s Basilica, something that we will never forget. Instead we are looking forward to go back there.
