Les obsèques du petit Emile ont lieu en ce moment dans le Var

Ce samedi 8 février, les proches de l'enfant peuvent enfin lui dire au revoir.

La disparition du petit Emile a fait trembler la France, et au-delà, des mois durant. Ce samedi 8 février, soit dix mois après l'officialisation du décès de l'enfant, ses obsèques se déroulent à la basilique de Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume dans le Var. Cette triste histoire ayant ému un large public, les funérailles sont ouvertes au grand public.

La famille d'Emile portant beaucoup d'importance à la foi catholique, les obsèques s'inscrivent dans les traditions religieuses, rapporte BFM TV. De ce fait et en vue du jeune âge du défunt, le clergé arbore des vêtements blancs, évoquant la pureté du baptême. Bien qu'aucun dress code ne soit imposé, les fidèles ont également été invités à porter cette couleur.
