Zelenski and Trump, criticize that they did not comply with the dress code
The President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski and the US President Donald Trump were criticized for violating the protocol at Pope Francis’s funerals. The strict dress code for the Vatican funerals provided for men to wear a dark suit, with a long black tie and a white shirt. In addition, shoes, long socks, coats and umbrellas also had to be black.
The observers explained that Volodimir Zelenski did not wear a tie, while Donald Trump wore a dark blue suit with a pine representing the American flag and matching a bright blue tie, writes the Daily Mail. In addition, the Vatican violated the protocol to ensure that Zelenski is primarily at the funeral.
Pope Francis was buried, on April 26, according to the wishes expressed by him, in the Papal Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, becoming the first pontiff in the last century to be buried in Saint Peter.
On Sunday morning, the first images with Pope Francis from the Santa Maria Maggiore Church were published on Sunday morning. A single white rose was photographed on the stone tomb bearing the name under which it was known during its pontificate, under a crucifix enlightened by a single reflector.
