Daily LifeThroughout Western Europe in Medieval

times, each community was centered around a church, playing a powerful role in nearly everyone’s personal life.The church offered religious services,

established orphanages, and helped care for the poor, sick, and elderly.

Most Europeans were baptized, married, and buried by the Catholic Church.

They also hosted feasts, festivals, and other celebrations. As communities grew, their members often donated money and labor to build new and larger churches.

Parish ChurchThe parish church was the center of every town. It was

generally the largest building in town often built in the shape of a cross.

Churches had stained glass windows and statues that told stories from the Bible to the commoners and nobles who, for the most part, could not read.

Every Sunday, every commoner and noble went to church to a service spoken in Latin (which they didn't understand) and a sermon read from a Bible written in Latin (which they did not understand).

The parish church was overseen by a parish priest, whose duties were to teach the Christian gospel to his parishioners, and help them to live their lives by God's laws.

Because most nobles were illiterate (they could not read or write), the staff priests would write important letters and documents. They would also give advice about wars, laws, and family quarrels, and the education and marriage of noble sons and daughters.

Pilgrimages• Pilgrimages were journeys made to places that

held special religious significance. Usually, this was a shrine where a saint was buried or a visit to the Holy Land itself.

• Making a pilgrimage was long and often dangerous. Almost everyone traveled on foot and bandits and pirates lay in wait for the unarmed pilgrims.

• However, people went on these journeys anyways because they felt that prayers made at a saint's tomb were especially powerful.

• If a loved one fell ill, a relative might promise to make a pilgrimage if the person got better, or someone might go to show that they were sorry for their sins.

• Some went on pilgrimages as penance, or punishment by the Church, for a sin they committed.• Gambling, stealing, etc.

Monks & NunsMonks were men who devoted their time to

praying and studying in communities called monasteries.

They preserved Greek and Roman knowledge by hand-copying illuminated manuscripts (colorful handwritten books).

Later, the Church also founded the first universities in Europe, teaching the ancient world and God.

Nuns were women who prayed, sewed, taught young girls, cared for the poor, and also copied and decorated books in convents.

Power of the Church1.) If a commoner or nobleman refused to obey the

commands of the Church, the Pope might punish him/her with excommunication, or being kicked out of the Church. All the churches on the Lord’s land would be

closed, and neither he, his family, nor anyone within his territory could be baptized, married, or buried with the Church’s blessings = going to Hell!

One could find a quicker route to heaven by purchasing indulgences = a get out of Hell card.

2.) The Pope insisted he had the supreme authority over all Christian lands, causing arguments and even wars between kings and the Pope.• King John of England was excommunicated at one

time for angering the Pope.3.) Crusades were military expeditions sent by

Pope Urban II to capture the Holy Land (Palestine/Israel) from the Muslim Turks. Several Crusades between 1096 and 1272 failed to win the Holy Land. However, outcomes occurred such as increased trade, better ships and maps, and decrease of feudal lords (many were killed in battle).

InquisitionPeople who committed acts against the authority of

the church were accused of heresy and called heretics.Jews, Muslims, witches, commoners, nobles,

anyone you didn’t like. An Inquisition was a court set up by the power of

the Church to find heretics.Accused were usually “found guilty”.

Heretics would be put to death usually before enduring torture.Torture = wheel, rack, hot oil, impalement, drawnDeath = torture, hanging, burned or buried alive.

The Great Schism• In 1054 A.D., the Christian Church split.• The Emperor of the Byzantine Empire and the

Bishop of Constantinople did not agree with the Pope’s “supremacy” on earth.

• The Pope is the Bishop of Rome – the Emperor and Bishop of Constantinople claimed all bishops were equal, and that the Pope had no authority over leaders of countries.

• They also argued over certain interpretations of the Bible and beliefs.

• The two divisions of the church became known as Catholics in the West and Orthodox Christians in the East.

Non-Christians• Although Jews had been

living in Europe since the times of the Roman Empire. Jewish communities lived under discrimination and persecution in Europe. – They were forbidden to

own land. – They could only work in

certain professions. – Christians often blamed

Jews when disease or natural disasters struck.

– Many Jews were kicked out of countries and fled to Eastern Europe. Others were tortured or killed.

• However, Jewish communities remained intact and preserved their traditions. Jewish scholars continued to make contributions to learning for all Europeans.

Muslim armies from North Africa – called Moors – conquered Spain and Portugal in the 700’s AD, and ruled 800 years.

Wars and violence occurred between the Moors and Christians (native inhabitants) for the next 800 years.

Despite fighting, Moors brought new discoveries and also helped preserve the ancient Greek and Roman ideals.

Muslim communities in Spain were eventually : forced to convert (become a Christian), killed or driven out by the Christian leaders in the 1490’s.
