Hours later, world leaders took their seats in rows near an altar set up in front of St. Peter\u2019s Basilica.<\/p>\n<p>The scene was appropriate for the funeral of a head of state, with red-robed cardinals, royalty and dignitaries attending the open-air Mass. But for a pope who had spent over a decade defending people at the margins of society, many had also come to pay their respects to someone who occupied a deeply personal space in their lives.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cMore than a pope, he was a fatherly figure for us migrants,\u201d said Virginia Munos Ramires, 30, an El Salvador native, as she held onto a railing in St. Peter\u2019s Square under the beating sun. \u201cHe represented Latinos, immigrants \u2014 he was a reference for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Some of the mourners wore suits, others the blue and white soccer jerseys of Francis\u2019 native Argentina. Still others were dressed in traditional Polish garments or colorful cloths from the Democratic Republic of Congo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Many broke into loud applause when Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, who was officiating the Mass, recalled in his homily that the pope\u2019s first trip had been to Lampedusa, a southern Italian island that has become emblematic of large numbers of migrants arriving in Europe over the past decade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Pope Francis was \u201cgiving himself without measure, especially to the marginalized,\u201d Cardinal Re said, as he stood within sight of a giant statue of St. Peter, the Roman Catholic Church\u2019s first pope.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">With gulls crying out overhead and helicopters roaring higher in the sky, the crowd was largely silent as readings in Latin, Italian and other languages resounded in the square.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">For all of its pomp and ceremony, the experience for the crowd also had something of the feel of a stadium concert. The Mass took place on a stage so distant that the figures appeared tiny. What made it feel close were giant screens and a speaker system that resonated around the piazza.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">At one moment, the cameras focused on a tiny detail from the pope\u2019s coffin, making the solemnity of the occasion feel all too real. At another, they showed President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine as he walked to his seat, prompting a bout of applause from the crowd.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">But no one who was present needed a video display to be captivated by the grandeur of the surroundings. The piazza, arrayed around the Vatican obelisk, is bounded by enormous colonnades topped with sculptures that stand in silhouette against the sky.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Among the mourners were Catholics from places that Francis had made a point of reaching out to. Many, like the retired owner of a grocery story in the northern Italian city of Genoa, said they felt that Francis was a \u201cnormal person,\u201d like them. \u201cThe world you loved is here today to say thank you,\u201d one banner read.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Francesca Butros, a nun from Egypt, had run into the piazza to secure a spot. She had prayed that Pope Francis, who suffered from knee ailments, would relieve her legs from pain and allow her to make it to St. Peter\u2019s in time for the funeral. She did, although another nun twisted her ankle in the subway, she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Epiphana Lubangula, 53, a Tanzania native who works as a nurse in Italy, said, \u201cWe are here from the West to the East.\u201d She said she hoped that \u201cthe powerful who are here today will treasure Francis\u2019 message.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">A priest from Myanmar, the Rev. Caesar Htoo Ko Ko, said that since the pope\u2019s 2017 visit to the country, people there finally \u201chave an image of what a Catholic is.\u201d<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"imageblock-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"img-sz-large css-hxpw2c e1g7ppur0\" aria-label=\"media\" role=\"group\"><figcaption data-testid=\"photoviewer-children-caption\" class=\"css-1g9ic6e ewdxa0s0\"><span class=\"css-jevhma e13ogyst0\">Thousands who didn\u2019t get to St. Peter\u2019s Square for the funeral lined the streets in central Rome on Saturday.<\/span><span class=\"css-14fe1uy e1z0qqy90\"><span class=\"css-1ly73wi e1tej78p0\">Credit&#8230;<\/span><span><span aria-hidden=\"false\">Piero Cruciatti\/Agence France-Presse \u2014 Getty Images<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">And while the media\u2019s attention turned to a meeting between Mr. Zelensky and President Trump in the basilica before the funeral, many of the mourners were mostly focused on saying goodbye to the pope.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cHe was like family,\u201d said Colette Sandjon, 68, a Cameroon native who had traveled from Paris and spent the night standing in a Vatican City side street to secure a spot at the pope\u2019s funeral.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cWhen he spoke to me, it\u2019s as if he was speaking to the whole of Africa,\u201d she added, her eyes reddened by the sleepless night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Toward the end of the ceremony, it was approaching midday, and the spring heat was taking a toll on those who had been standing since before dawn. Hundreds sat down for the homily, while others tried to fan themselves with the funeral program booklet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">With the pope being laid to rest, many Catholics were also starting to look ahead. Some wondered who would defend the voiceless now that their loudest champion was gone. Others said they hoped that Francis\u2019 era of emphasizing charity and pastoral work over church doctrine was over.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The Rev. Joseph Jaros, of the Czech Republic, said he agreed with Francis that the church needed to change, but, echoing of a criticism often heard among conservatives, he said that it should be in keeping with tradition. \u201cThe world is changing a lot, but the church should not change too much,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Ms. Munos Ramires, the migrant from El Salvador, said she was more concerned about the pope\u2019s message. \u201cAs migrants we are worried,\u201d she said. \u201cWe hope we\u2019ll get another advocate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">After the Mass ended, the cardinals descended the basilica\u2019s staircase in a red cascade and the crowd trickled out. The piazza outside the basilica was cleared. An eerie silence remained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-1smqmx3 etfikam0\">Jason Horowitz<!-- --> contributed reporting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async
