Laying-in-State
- Monday, Jan - Thursday, Jan 5th
- At St. Peter’s Basilica
Funeral
- Thursday, Jan 5th (9:30 AM Local)
- At St. Peter’s Square
- As Benedict was Pope Emeritus, the funeral will be simpler than that of past Popes. It will not be a formal State Occasion, and only Italy & Germany (where Benedict was born) have been invited to send official delegations. Others will attend in a “Private capacity.”
- Live Streams
- Vatican News Youtube (Run by Vatican Gov)
- Did not see a live stream, but Vatican News does have a channel for the following. So they likely won't have live coverage in that language but may have videos available sometime after.
