Pope Francis was laid to rest on Saturday as world leaders and hundreds of thousands of mourners descended upon the Vatican to pay their respects.

Cardinals have chosen May 7 as the date to start conclave and elect a new leader for 1.4 billion Catholics around the world, a Vatican source told CNN.

Pope Francis was honored with a funeral Mass Saturday morning in the Vatican City's St. Peter's Square. These are some of the images that captured the grief of those mourning him around the world.
