Vatican Pontiff's Last Journey
The body of Pope John Paul II is carried through St. Peter's Square: tens of thousands of mourners bid their farewell.
The corpse of John Paul II lies dressed in liturgical vestment and miter. He will be buried on Friday.
Bidding farewell to the holy father: Two million pilgrims are expected in Rome between now and Friday.
Twelve men, escorted by members of the Swiss Guard, serve as pall bearers on the pope's last trip across St. Peter's Square.
Christians on St. Peter's Square express shock, mourning and disbelief.
As the pope's body was taken to the basillica, it was as if he was being carried by the masses of Catholics who had converged on St. Peter's Square.
The procession arrives at St. Peter's Square. For three days the pilgrims can bid farewell to the pope, whose body has been laid in state in St. Peter's Basilica.
The pope is surrounded by the people he led for 26 years as the 263rd pontiff.
The pope is transferred into St. Peter's Basilica to the sounds of the "All Saints Litany."
