EKO HOT BLOG reports that the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s remains have arrived at St George’s Cathedral in Cape Town, where he will be laid to rest for two days.
On Sunday, December 26, the Nobel Peace Prize recipient who helped abolish apartheid in South Africa died at the age of 90.
After the lying-in-state period, his remains will be laid to rest on January 1st, allowing mourners to file past his body and say their final goodbyes.
As Tutu’s humble wooden casket was taken into the cathedral, priests burned incense. As the coffin entered Tutu’s former parish, Leah, Tutu’s widow, walked slowly behind it.
