Description Santa Maria Maggiore, consecrated by Sixtus III in 434, is one of the most important historical monuments of Rome. It is the only one of five patriarchal basilicas, which was commissioned under pontifical patronage without any imperial intervention; it is the first church dedicated to the Virgin Mary in Rome and probably in the West; and it is also the first Roman church – not counting the so-called cemetery basilicas standing outside the city walls – dedicated to a saint. The church's prominent position in the history of the papacy makes us wonder how the context of its creation may have influenced its architectural design and decoration. Here we will focus primarily on the liturgical function: for if Santa Maria Maggiore is indeed a pure commission of Roman bishops, we might expect its form to be adapted to a stational (i.e. episcopal/papal) liturgy.
