On her 55th birthday, First Lady Melania Trump attended Pope Francis’ funeral along with her husband Donald and other world leaders, royals, and religious figures from all over the world.
Melania Trump cut a sombre figure as she attended the funeral of Pope Francis wearing a black lace veil. The First Lady joined husband President Donald Trump and royals, dignitaries and leaders from around the world at the Vatican.
Melania, wore all-black for the service along with a lace funeral veil as she travelled to Rome on her 55th birthday. It was previously revealed that Melania, who is the first practicing Catholic in her role since Jackie Kennedy, felt “honoured” to be able to attend. Among the mourners were Prince William, representing the British royal family, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium, French President Emmanuel Macron, King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy – who received an applause from the crowds as he took his seat.
First Lady Melania was seen closing her eyes repeatedly throughout the ceremony as she paid her respects in scenes that echoed around the world. Her decision to wear the Mantilla Veil as a sign of respect was well-known to home viewers. The wearing of the mantilla is believed to be a way to disguise a woman’s physical beauty in Catholicism so that God’s glory may be glorified instead of her. A woman’s wearing of a veil at Mass is typically seen as a sign of her modesty and humility before God.
Although some critics questioned Melania’s choice of footwear for the religions event. “Why did Melania attend the pope’s funeral wearing 8-inch heels?” Not appropriate. One person yelled, “These people have no class.”
Other fans criticized her husband Donald Trump’s decision to wear a blue suit to the funeral, distinguishing him from other mourners who had attended the funeral service in all black.
“Respect” He doesn’t even have a black suit on. At least Melania is wearing a modesty black veil to the funeral service. One criticized.
Another questioned why Trump didn’t dress in a black suit and attend the Pope’s funeral, which he had done in a light blue suit.
More than 250, 000 people paid their respects over the course of three days of public service that ended today following the Pope’s passing on Monday.
