Francis, who took his name after Saint Francis of Assisi, was known for his outreach to the poor and those in poverty and that will be reflected in his minimalist burial at Saint Mary Major. He is the first pope to be buried outside the Vatican in over a century and the first to be buried at Santa Maria Maggiore in more than 300 years.

When Pope Francis died on Monday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered that flags be lowered to have staff. Abbott's order remains in effect until sunset Saturday, after Francis was buried at the Basilica of Saint Mary Major in Rome.
