Religion of the Middle Ages

monk/nun- someone who devoted their life to the church and learning

monasteries- places where the monks and nuns lived

Catholic Church – the most powerful intuition during the Middle Ages

gothic - a style of architecture characterized by pointed arches, ribbed vaulting, stained glass, gargoyles

crusades- a series of religious wars between the Muslims and Christians over the holy land


We also watched a movie about monks and nuns from the History Channel.

Main ideas from the movie:

St. Benedict
monastery = abbey
power of healing
miracles
displined by no  talking
italian
2 poison - bread and drink
wayward abby
raven stole bread
glass shattered
