Three days after the Jan. 6 anniversary, with its indelible images of costumed rioters running amok in the Capitol, former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral service in the National Cathedral presented a historical picture of a different kind, one that spoke not of upended norms, but of preservation and strength.

Former President Jimmy Carter's state funeral ceremonies began in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 7. Carter died at the age of 100 on Dec. 29 at his home in Plains, Georgia. During Carter's state funeral ceremonies, his casket was transported from Atlanta, Georgia, to the U.S. Capitol, where Carter lies in state. See images of the procession.

Former President Jimmy Carter—who died last month at the age of 100—will be memorialized in a state funeral at the National Cathedral on Thursday, expected to be attended by all living presidents and marked by a national day of mourning.
