The Benedictines were noted for their role in promoting the spread of Christianity and monasticism in Europe during the Middle Ages. They followed the Rule of St. Benedict, which emphasized prayer, work, and community life. Benedictine monasteries also played a key role in preserving knowledge and culture during this time.
