With the establishment of the Catholic church as the only church in Europe in the middle ages learning was basically gone along with the works of Greek and Rome. Some monks still kept and studied the ancient works, but the population couldn't read or write and soon forgot them. The Catholic church also made sure that all celebrations became religious celebrations in the Catholic tradition, so any ancient celebrations that had a pagan, Greek or Roman source became Catholic holidays. Christ Mass and Easter are two such celebrations that used pagan days for the creation of the new holidays by the Catholic church.
