Saint Maximian, Patriarch of Constantinople, was born in Rome to wealthy and pious parents. He arranged tombs for the burial of saints who were renowned for their holy lives.

He was simple and loved to live away from worldly vanity. For his pure and virtuous life, Patriarch Sisinnius appointed him as presbyter. Following the deposition of the heretic Nestorius, the monk-presbyter was elevated to the patriarchal throne on October 25, 431, during the reign of the holy Emperor Theodosius the Younger.

He peacefully departed this life on April 12, 434, on Great Thursday.
