This tour of the Basilica of St. Mary Major Tour is a bite-size exploration of one of Rome’s four Major Basilicas, each a location of the four Holy Doors set to open during the Jubilee year of 2025. This stunning Basilica, located in the center of town, is home to Icons, Relics of Christ and majestic artwork littered with symbolism and Catechesis—making it an essential stop for Catholic pilgrims to Rome.

Lasting just over an hour in the one location, this standalone Major Basilica tour is an ideal option for those with reduced mobility or simply on a tight schedule, since it is fully wheelchair accessible. Your devout Catholic guide and theological scholar will take you on a spiritual journey, explaining the eventful history of St. Mary Major while standing right by the Holy Door. Inside the Basilica you’ll have the opportunity to venerate wood from Christ’s manger as well as the icon Salus Populi Romani by St. Luke the Evangelist.

You’ll learn the true meaning of the spectacular mosaics behind the main altar while standing by the tomb of the Baroque Master Gian Lorenzo Bernini, just a few steps away from the Relics of Pope Pius V. Enjoy a pilgrim tour that weaves scripture with history in vivid and inspiring fashion, with homily on request and complimentary prayer cards.
