Deputy Culture Minister Beka Davituliani offered condolences in a book of remembrance opened in honor of Pope Francis at the Apostolic Nunciature, according to a statement released by the Ministry of Culture on Wednesday.

Pope Francis passed away on Easter Monday at his residence in the Vatican’s Casa Santa Marta, marking the end of a papacy defined by humility, dialogue, and global outreach.

Davituliani’s tribute reflects Georgia’s respect for the late pontiff and his legacy, as well as the country's continued recognition of the Vatican’s role in global cultural and spiritual affairs.
