A Basilica was a public building used by the Emperor or Judges for major events of noble import or significance.\u00a0 The structure was usually distinguished by columns, a long center aisle, and an apse within the building. It was into the apse that the Emperor or Judge would be seated.\u2028\u2028As Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire, Basilicas were converted into churches, with the Altar and Tabernacle of Our Lord, Jesus Christ substantially present in the apse, the place once occupied by the emperor.\u00a0 The Basilica thus became the \u201cRoyal House\u201d where Christians gathered to celebrate the Eucharist and proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_testimonial portrait_url=&#8221;https:\/\/stmarylancaster.org\/2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/keys.png&#8221; quote_icon=&#8221;off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;major and minor&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; body_font=&#8221;Lato||||||||&#8221; body_text_align=&#8221;justify&#8221; body_text_color=&#8221;#898f99&#8243; body_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; body_line_height=&#8221;1.6em&#8221; use_background_color=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||60px|&#8221; box_shadow_style_image=&#8221;preset3&#8243; box_shadow_color_image=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0.14)&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Two Types of Basilicas<br \/><\/strong>There are two types of Basilicas: Major Basilicas and Minor Basilicas.
