玛尔基安出生于罗马，作为一名司祭，在玛尔基安皇帝和普鲁切利亚皇后统治的大部分时间内，在君士坦丁堡渡过了他后来的生活。圣玛尔基安从父母那里继承了一笔巨额财产，他通常将钱用于两个方面：或是建立、修整教堂，或是周济穷人。他在君士坦丁堡建立了两座新圣堂——圣阿纳斯塔西教堂和圣伊里尼教堂。这两座教堂都以非常美丽神圣而知名。人们问他，你为什么将这么多钱用在教堂上？他回答说：“如果我有一个女儿，并想把她嫁给一个贵族，我不应该花很多金子将她打扮成相称的新娘吗？我如今装饰教会，因为教会是基督的新娘啊。”这位伟大的圣人在修建教堂以及周济穷人方面非常慷慨，但是他对自己却十分节俭，遵循了使徒的劝勉：“只要有衣食，就当知足”（致提摩泰书一／提前／弟前6：8）。有人这样评述他：“他完全居于上帝中，而上帝也在他内，他岁月满足，功全德备而归主”，其时为公元471年。
