Medieval Monk

Tonsure – The hair represented the ‘crown of

thorns’ worn by Christ when he was crucified.

Cowl – This was a hood.

Girdle – This belt showed Monk’s still belonged

to the world. On it hung a cross, the symbol of

being a monk.

Habit – This was the robe. It was made of rough

cloth so it would irritate their skin and remind

them of Christ’s suffering.

Sandals – These shoes reminded Monks they

had to be humble like Christ.

Why did Medieval people believe?

1. The first reason why people went

to Church is because it was fun.

2. Another reason why they went to

Church is because they thought

hell was such a scary place

3. If you died with a dirty soul you

would go to either purgatory or

straight to hell.

4. You had to go to church and get

the priest to clean your soul.

5. If you died with a clean soul you

would go to heaven.

6. Going to church helped you to get

to heaven.

Route 3—buying your way in to Heaven

  • People believed that nearly everyone went to Purgatory. Purgatory was a

place between Heaven and Hell. To move from Purgatory to Heaven you

had to be sorry for your sins and people who were still alive would have

to pray for you.

  • People would often leave money for prayers to be said for them to help

them escape Purgatory. Rich people would pay for colleges to be set up,

where priests did nothing but pray for the dead.

  • The less well off paid to join guilds (associations) which would arrange to

hold masses for their soul after they died.

  • You could also buy indulgences. These would free you from your sins and

you would go straight to Heaven when you died but these were

expensive.
