the World say goodbye to “Giovanni Paolo Santo'' ....

or "St John Paul"... he was cremated at a mass burial in a chapel near the tomb traditionally believed to be of the apostle Peter, the first pope. An excerpt from the article:

"Today, we bury his remains in the earth as a seed of immortality -- our hearts are full of sadness, yet at the same time of joyful hope and profound gratitude," Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger said in the homily during the Mass.
