The Inscription on the Tomb
 

What the same grotto appeared like when Pope John XXIII was entered.

John Paul II frequently prayed at the Tomb of John XXIII

 

When John XXIII was declared Blessed as a step toward sainthood, he was exhumed and his remains were moved to a side altar in St. Peter's for the faithful to offer prayers
