From the Vatican Basilica: Tomb of Blessed John Paul II

After the canonization, this marble slab will be replaced. 

In my opinion, the tomb ought to have been left in the crypt.  For obvious crowd control purposes.

Sad to see the former historical altar disrupted and done away with.

  1. Moving the tomb to allow for easier access for veneration by the faithful makes perfect sense.

    Beate Ioannes Paule Magne, ora pro nobis!

    Beate Ioannes Paule Magne, ora pro pontifice nostro Francisco!
