Makanisa ya Bikira Maria

Makanisa ya Bikira Maria ni maabadi ya Kikristo ambapo mama wa Yesu anaheshimiwa kwa namna ya pekee, kwa kuwa ama aliishi huko, ama alitokea ama alifanya muujiza, ama waumini wenyewe walijisikia hamu ya kuonyesha shukrani yao kwake.

Makanisa ya namna hiyo yalijengwa tangu karne za kwanza za historia ya Ukristo, hasa baada ya Hati ya Milano iliyowapa wananchi uhuru wa dini katika Dola la RomaCatholic encyclopediaEarly Christian Art and Architecture  by R. L. P. Milburn (Feb 1991) ISBN|0520074122 Univ California Press page 303Encyclopedia of Sacred Places by Norbert C. Brockman 2011 ISBN|159884654X page 161, na siku hizi zinapatikana katika mabara yote, hata Antaktiki.

Mara nyingi ni patakatifu palipo lengo la hija hasa ya Wakristo wa madhehebu mbalimbali.

Kubwa kuliko yote ni Basilika la Bikira Maria Aparecida, Brazil, ambalo limezidiwa tu na Basilika la Mt. Petro huko Roma-Vatikano.
