Pope Benedict XVI, who died on December 31 at the age of 96, was buried in the Vatican. He was buried in the original grave of his predecessor, John Paul II (1920-2005), as he wished.

According to the estimates of the Vatican gendarmerie, about 50,000 people attended the ceremony. Some visitors have demanded that Benedict be canonized.
