(“Pope Mark” (Latin: Marcus; died 7 October 336) was Pope from 18 January to 7 October 336)
(little is known of his early life)
(according to the Liber Pontificalis, he was a Roman, and his father’s name was ‘Priscus’)
(‘Mark’ succeeded ‘Saint Sylvester’ as pope on 18 January 336)
(he held office only eight months and twenty days, dying on 7 October following)
(some evidence suggests that the early lists of bishops and martyrs known as the Depositio episcoporum and Depositio martyrum were begun during his pontificate)
(per the Liber Pontificalis, ‘Pope Mark’ issued a constitution investing the ‘Bishop of Ostia’ with a pallium and confirming his power to consecrate newly elected popes)
(also per the Liber Pontificalis, ‘Pope Mark’ is credited with the foundation of the ‘Basilica of San Marco’ in Rome, and a cemetery church over the ‘Catacomb of Balbina’, just outside the city on lands obtained as a donation from ‘Emperor Constantine’)
(‘Mark’ died of natural causes and was buried in the catacomb of ‘Balbina’)
(in 1048 his remains were removed to the town of ‘Velletri’, and from 1145 were relocated to the ‘Basilica of San Marco’ in Rome, where they are kept in an urn under the altar)
(his feast day is celebrated on ‘7 October’)
