Everything about Pope Mark totally explained
Pope Saint Mark or
Marcus was
Pope from
January 18,
336 to
October 7,
336.
He is said to have been a
Roman, but little is known of his early life. He was consecrated on
January 18, 336, and died
October 7 that same year.
The
Liber Pontificalis says that he was a Roman, and that his father's name was Priscus. Some evidence suggests that the early lists of bishops and martyrs known as the
Depositio episcoporum and
Depositio martyrum were begun during his pontificate. Mark also issued a constitution confirming the power of the
bishop of Ostia to consecrate newly elected popes. Mark is credited with the foundation of the
basilica of
San Marco in Rome and the
Juxta Pallacinis basilica just outside the city.
Mark died of
natural causes and was buried in the catacomb of
Balbina, where he'd built the cemetery church. His feast day is on
October 7.
