Detailed explanation-1: -Many Irish monks that had helped to set up these monasteries in Ireland wanted to bring Christianity to other countries. These monks were great sea travellers, who braved the dangerous seas in the hope of establishing monasteries abroad.
Detailed explanation-2: -The monks in the monasteries were some of the only people in the Middle Ages who knew how to read and write. They provided education to the rest of the world. The monks also wrote books and recorded events. If it wasn’t for these books, we would know very little about what happened during the Middle Ages.
Detailed explanation-3: -Joseph Mullooly, (19 March 1812 – 25 June 1880) was an Irish Dominican Roman Catholic priest and archaeologist from Lehery, Lanesborough, County Longford, Ireland.
Detailed explanation-4: -Not only did Irish monks and scribes maintain the very record of Western civilization–copying manuscripts of Greek and Latin writers, both pagan and Christian, while libraries and learning on the continent were forever lost-they brought their uniquely Irish world-view to the task.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Church provided leadership and, at times, even organized the distribution of food. Monasteries, or communities of monks, provided hospitality to refugees and travelers. Monks also copied and preserved old texts, and in this way helped keep both new and ancient learning alive.
