Detailed explanation-1: -Monasticism became quite popular in the Middle Ages, with religion being the most important force in Europe. Monks and nuns were to live isolated from the world to become closer to God. Monks provided service to the church by copying manuscripts, creating art, educating people, and working as missionaries.
Detailed explanation-2: -So the main purpose of the life of monks and nuns was to serve God through prayer and praise. This meant getting up at midnight for the first service of the day (called Matins) which could last until nearly dawn.
Detailed explanation-3: -During the Middle Ages, ISLAMIC scholars preserved and built on the knowledge of the ancient Greeks. During the RENAISSANCE, interest in CLASSICAL IDEAS was revived, changing the way people thought about the world around them.
Detailed explanation-4: -After the collapse of the western Roman Empire, the main unifying force in Europe was the Catholic Church. The church was under the supreme authority of the Bishop of Rome, or Pope, who was seen as the successor of St. Peter. As the head of the church, the Pope wields spiritual authority of all of Europe.
