Priests burnt incense as Tutu's simple wooden coffin was carried into the cathedral.

Pine coffins look so cool especially when you know the deceased was rich but chose modesty. I want one of these for myself one day - 5 decades from now though

The coffin might look simple
But it's not cheap , look closely

Rest on sir.

Simplicity exemplified even in death

How did a man of his statue suit into that wooden Casket remains a deep mystery

It's the cheapest for the wealthy

R.I.P Bishop Tutu. You were really a voice of the voiceless.


Desmond Tutu and Pope John Paul II really showed apartheid pepper. Pope John Paul II only visited South Africa when Mandela was freed.

Makgoba was really young before he was elected Primate.....In Nigeria here, you can't be until you are in your very late 50s. Well, the number of Priests here triple that over there.

Yeah, I think religion faces an existential crisis in many quarters of SA except charismatuc churches of course.

modest life till the end

Many of our modern day pastors are not modest and I don’t know why. It’s like they are competing for a Worldly crown or goal.

There is also a sheer arrogance or corkiness that 80% them carry or maybe I’m just imagining or assuming this bt I think I know humility when I see it.

Some are ready to insult people who challenge them with fowl language and derogatory words bt are pastors and Christians.

No man is perfect bt Desmond Tutu gave his best in a modest and respectable way.

I think the population, competition etc......Here, Nigeria has over 160 dioceses compared to SA's 25 (I am speaking of the Anglican Church).

Humility till death

Why cremate the body were the church get that kind of tradition from?

The Cathedral's bells have been ringing for 10 minutes every day at noon since his death. The 1984 Nobel Peace Prize winner died on Sunday, aged 90.

Tutu’s simple pine coffin with rope handles, adorned with a single bunch of white carnations, was carried into St. George’s, which provided a safe haven for anti-apartheid activists during the repressive white-minority rule.

His body was received by Most Revd. Dr. Thabo Cecil Makgoba, Archbishop of Cape Town.

Priests burnt incense as Tutu's simple wooden coffin was carried into the cathedral.

Tutu's eldest daughter Thandeka Tutu-Gxashe, accompanied by other family elders, walked slowly behind as the coffin entered his former parish.

His frail wife Leah had been wheeled into the church earlier.

He had clear wishes for his funeral and plans to honour him;

Goodbye Archbishop

RIP

Gay go to hell

What you don’t understand is that in Nigeria that casket is another project to be supervised by another body to chop paper currency. If the coffin na $5k, the body of that funeral department will increase it to $15k. That is why they need something they can defend to be bought if there is inflations by the bodies.

Great mind and a great human being. Humanity is what archbishop Desmond Tutu is all about. His death is a big lost to the world entirely. Rest in peace my dear friend

He was a grt man.

Rest in peace ARCH BISHOP DESMOND TUTU

may your good deeds speak for you on heaven
