In the midst of all the news out there about the death and burial of Pope Francis I didn’t bother to post anything. In addition, I was dealing with some personal matters during that time as well that prevented me from having the time for posting. We now find ourselves in the midst of the nine official days of mourning for a pope, the so-called Novemdiales. Now, the world waits the start of the Conclave which will commence on May 7.

I post here a funerary hatchment made by the Australian Heraldic Artist, Mr. Sandy Turnbull. May Pope Francis Rest in Peace.
