I can imagine that for people of faith there is a lot to be read into the time of death.

For the superstitious perhaps, but not for those that have the virtue of religion!

The last three popes have all died during the Octave of Easter or Christmas.

One of the last three popes is not yet dead ;-)

I stand corrected. Benedict XVI died in December 2022. I'd somehow missed that.
