The Sistine Chapel takes its name from Pope Sixtus IV (1471-1484) who had the old Cappella Magna restored between 1477 and 1480. The Chapel is a Catholic church in which any Catholic rite like Mass, marriage, baptism may take place. In addition, the Conclave for the election of a new Pope is held in the Chapel. Pope John Paul II spoke of the Sistine Chapel: "Precisely here, in this sacred space, the Cardinals gather, awaiting the manifestation of the will of Christ with regard to the person of the Successor of St Peter. And here, in a spirit of obedience to Christ and trusting in his Mother, I accepted the election that sprung from the Conclave, declaring my readiness to serve the Church."
