On 3 September 2000, John XXIII was declared "Blessed" alongside [[Pope Pius IX]] by [[Pope John Paul II]], the penultimate step on the road to [[saint]]hood, after a miracle of curing an ill woman was discovered. He was the first pope since [[Pope Pius X]] to receive this honour. Following his beatification, his body was moved from its original burial place in the grottoes below the [[St Peter's Basilica|Vatican]] to the altar of [[St. Jerome]] and displayed for the [[veneration]] of the faithful.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Boudreaux |first1=Richard |title=Display of Love for John XXIII |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2001-jun-04-mn-6245-story.html |work=Los Angeles Times |date=4 June 2001 |access-date=31 August 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Previous Tomb of John Paul II |url=http://stpetersbasilica.info/Grottoes/JPII/Tomb%20of%20John%20Paul%20II.htm |website=stpetersbasilica.info |access-date=31 August 2021}}</ref>

At the time, the body was observed to be extremely well preserved{{snd}}a condition which the Church ascribes to embalming<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.rte.ie/news/2001/0603/15691-vatican/ |title=Pope John XXIII's exhumed remains at St Peter's |publisher=RTE News|date=3 June 2001 |access-date=28 April 2014}}</ref> and the lack of airflow in his sealed triple coffin rather than a [[miracle]]. When John XXIII's body was moved in 2001, it was once again treated to prevent deterioration.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Tomov |first1=Nikola |title=Preserving the Pontiff: an Account of the Body Preservation Methods Used by the Roman Catholic Church |journal=Acta Morphologica et Anthropologica |volume=25 |issue=1–2 |pages=117–121 |url=http://www.iempam.bas.bg/journals/acta/acta25a/117-121.pdf}}</ref> The original vault above the floor was removed and a new one built beneath the ground; it was here that the body of Pope John Paul II was entombed from 9 April 2005 to April 2011, before being moved for his beatification on 1 May 2011.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2001/juneweb-only/6-11-13.0.html/|title=Blessed John XXIII's Remains Are Now on View at St Peter's|magazine=Christianity Today|date=1 June 2001}}</ref> The tomb was ultimately occupied by [[Benedict XVI]] following his death in 2022.

The 50th anniversary of his death was celebrated on 3 June 2013 by [[Pope Francis]], who visited his tomb and prayed there, then addressed the gathered crowd and spoke about the late pope. The people who gathered there at the tomb were from Bergamo, the province where the late pope came from. A month later, on 5&nbsp;July 2013, Francis approved Pope John XXIII for canonization, along with Pope John Paul II, without the traditional second miracle required. Instead, Francis based this decision on John XXIII's merits for the Second Vatican Council.<ref>{{Citation |url=http://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/europe/vatican-announces-canonisation-of-popes-john-paul-ii-and-john-xxiii-1.1454474 |title=Vatican announces canonization of popes John Paul II and John XXIII |newspaper=The Irish Times |date=6 July 2013}}</ref> On Sunday, 27 April 2014, John XXIII and Pope John Paul II were declared saints on [[Divine Mercy Sunday]].<ref>{{Citation |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-27172118 |title=Vatican declares Popes John Paul II and John XXIII saints |work=BBC News |place=UK|date=27 April 2014}}</ref>

The date assigned for the liturgical celebration of John XXIII is not 3 June, the anniversary of his death, as would be usual (due to the obligatory memorial of saints [[Charles Lwanga]] and his [[Uganda Martyrs|companion martyrs]]), but 11 October, the anniversary of his opening of the Second Vatican Council.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/SaintOfDay/default.asp?id=1165 |title=Saint of the Day |publisher=American Catholic |access-date=12 September 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=http://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20050422221459/http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/SaintOfDay/default.asp?id=1165 |archive-date=22 April 2005}}</ref> He is also commemorated in the [[Anglican Church of Canada]], the [[Evangelical Lutheran Church in America]], and some other organizations with a feast day of 3 June or 4 June.<ref name="justus.anglican.org">{{cite web |url =http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bio/177.html|title=Angelo (John XXIII) Roncalli, Bishop|access-date=21 January 2014}}</ref><ref name="Lutheran Book of Worship">{{cite book |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=Lutheran Book of Worship |publisher=Augsburg Fortress Press |year=1978 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.satucket.com/lectionary/john_xxiii.htm |title=John XXIII (Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli) |publisher=Satucket.com |access-date=28 April 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://liturgyandmusic.wordpress.com/2011/06/04/june-4-john-xxiii-angelo-giuseppe-roncalli-bishop-of-rome-1963/ |title=[John XXIII (Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli), Bishop of Rome, 1963&#93; &#124; Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music |publisher=Liturgyandmusic.wordpress.com |date=4 June 2011 |access-date=28 April 2014}}</ref>
