No, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) is not considered the most powerful mobile computing solution today. While PDAs were popular in the past for tasks like scheduling and basic information management, modern smartphones and tablets offer significantly more computing power, versatility, and connectivity. These devices come equipped with advanced processors, apps, and features that surpass the capabilities of PDAs, making them the preferred choice for mobile computing.

Medieval nuns in Spain were typically buried in a manner that reflected their religious dedication and community status. They were often interred within the convent grounds, sometimes in simple graves or more elaborate tombs, depending on their rank and the resources of the convent. Burial rituals included prayers and ceremonies, and some nuns were buried in their habits, symbolizing their lifelong commitment to their faith. In certain cases, notable nuns might have had effigies or memorials erected in their honor.

if your a typical American you ate the same amount of meals as the monks,3.

===============================================

Answer: It depended on the time of year. In winter the days were much shorter, so according to the Rule of St Benedict monks should eat once per day from mid-September to Easter; the remainder of the year, when days were longer, a second meal was permitted late in the day.

At the main meal there was a choice of two cooked dishes. A third dish of fruit or vegetables was served if available. In addition each monk received an allowance of bread and ale. On special occasions additional dishes called "pittances" consisting of fish, eggs and other treats were served.

Catholicism was the predominate religion during the Middle Ages.

No

A young man would first attend a Church school in order to gain the right education, particularly in the Latin language. He would then work his way up through the minor clerical orders until he became an "acolyte" to an existing priest. This was the fourth and highest grade of minor Holy orders.

An acolyte would assist in services and act as "sidesman" while learning all the work done by the priest. He was responsible for lighting candles on the altar, carrying the cross in procession, preparing wine and water for Mass and so on. When he had served a period as acolyte and the priest considered him to be ready, he would then be made a sub-deacon, the lowest of the major Holy orders of the Church.

He would then rise to the grade of deacon before being ordained as a priest.

The experience as an acolyte would be very much like that of an apprentice in ordinary life, learning the work, the services, the items of dress, prayers and everything else just as an apprentice carpenter would learn about the different types of wood, the carpenter's tools and how to use them.

The majority of it was mainly pagan, between 200BC to 100AD Christianity and Catholic came in and that brought the rebels. Sorry that's all I can tell you. Take in mind that paganism basically is the worship of more than one god. For example you might have a god for beauty, a god for crops and fertility, a god for health; that kind of thing.

I am not sure if we are talking about the same thing, but I am going to take a shot in the dark and assume you mean castrato (pl.castrati) since I am not aware of a meaning for the word casterati in English. Castrati were usually choir boys/singers who were castrated before puberty to maintain their soprano or contralto range of voices. The practice proved to be pointless and excessive, since only a small percentage of castrati kept their desired voice ranges. I believe the last known castrato died around 1922. Castrati were very popular up until the 18th century and performed in Churches. Hope the information was helpful.

When Henry II ascended the throne, he appointed his close friend Thomas à Becket Archbishop of Canterbury. Initially, Becket was supposed to use this role as a vehicle to further Henry II's plans. But Becket realized shortly after assuming the office that he had a moral responsibility to the souls of his parishioners, and that Henry's ambitions were in direct conflict with that. He decided to take his job seriously, and told Henry he couldn't follow through on the plans.

It is said that famous philosopher Joseph Decameron attacked a village because he was scared of the plague and believed that non-infected blood would keep him safe. That is what happened to Pisa.

A Catholic answer Not many years after Jesus died, rose again, and sent the Apostles to preach the Good News, the armies of the Roman empire destroyed Jerusalem (70 A.D.), obliterating the holy city, and dispersing the surviving Jewish and Christian inhabitants throughout the Mediterranean region and the East. The Roman empire began to persecute Christians everywhere. Some were martyred in the arena; some went underground to live as well as they might, and some fled into the desert regions to live in imitation of Saint John the Baptist to fast and pray and purify themselves. The ones who went into the desert to live holy lives became known as the Desert Fathers and many of these became famous for their wise sayings and are revered down to our own day by Eastern Orthodox as well as Catholics of the Roman and the various Eastern Churches. The holiest of the Desert Fathers often attracted disciples, those young men who were willing in Jesus' words, "to sell all that they have and give it to the poor" and "leave Mother and Father" and "follow Me [Christ]." The custom of a group of men willing to give up everything in order to seek the Lord, living, praying, and fasting together had taken a firm hold by the 6th century or so. Saint Benedict was one of these, and he wrote a Rule for his brethren - a rule being rather like an Army Field Manual for monks - what to do, how and when to do it - the Rule was designed to follow the Gospel as closely as possible. Over the centuries, more establishments of brethren who wanted to renounce everything and seek the Lord while living together in community like the early Christians were established. Most were established for special missions, such as preaching, (the Dominicans), charitable works Franciscans), devotion to prayer and ascetical works like the Carthusians. Answer Well, a few hundred years after Jesus died, Christianity became distorted, people didn't have copies of the Bible, if they did, it was in another language and so on. so then came about Monks and hermits. They belived that they could please God by beating them selves up, not eating or drinking for long periods of time or taking vows of silence, sometimes for years. Now, if they still do that today or if there are any left today, or of Budist monks, I have no idea. Answer I presume looking at the category you are referring to Christian monks although the term is loosely applied to other faiths and is generally taken to mean a person abstaining from consumption of certain foods, sex and relationships in order to become more pure and concentrate on getting closer to God. In the Christian world monks usually refers to males who live in communities with the same aims and nuns the female version. John the Baptist and Jesus were both known to remove themselves from society fasting and preparing themselves (Luke 4 1.13 "Man does not live by bread alone"). Monks who do not live in communities but alone are often referred to as hermits but monks may withdraw even within a community for certain periods. Different communities were founded which still exist today and follow the rules set out by their founder these include the Benedictines, Augustinians, Franciscan's, Evangelical Sisterhood of Mary, Anglican Sisterhood etc but are too many and diverse to list here. Despite the reputation some communities are not always withdrawn completely from society and some do much educational and charity work.

It was part of the rarely-used execution known as being "hung, drawn and quartered", which was reserved for only the most exceptional crimes.

Normal death sentences were executed by hanging - that is being "hanged" by the neck from a rope until dead.

For the penalty we are considering here, the victim was not hanged, but "hung" - which means being briefly strangled by the rope, but not killed. He would be cut down before death occurred, so he would experience near-death, but he would still be alive.

Next, he would immediately be placed on his back and his stomach was cut open, exposing the intestines. These would be slowly pulled out in front of his eyes.

Lastly the victim was beheaded and the body cut into four quarters (hence "quartered"), which were often sent to specific places to be exhibited, along with the head, as a warning to others.

The barbarian tribes invaded Italy and took Rome. This happened in 410 AD and that set the stage for the start of the middle ages.

The nuns would develop them and help them grow.

You're thinking of the Eastern Schism, sometimes called the Great Schism, but in the Catholic Church, the Great Schism refers to the Western Schism in the 15th century, not the Eastern Schism in the 11th century.

Gregorian chant originated in monastic liturgy (services) and was formalised in the period 10th to 13th centuries. Its concept was essentially single notes without harmonies, all the voices singing exactly the same thing at the same time. It was learned entirely by ear, although written notation then seved as reminder of the rise and fall of the tune (without ever defining actual notes).

Gregorian chant remained at the heart of monastic liturgy, although many alterations and developments took place over time. It also forms the basis for all musical notation and musical development in Europe ever since, so its influence is of major importance.

Gregorian chant is still sung in various cathedrals and monasteries today, continuing a tradition of over 1,100 years. An example is the work of the lay clerks of Canterbury Cathedral, who have recorded chant to celebrate the Feast of St Thomas Becket.

Probably not, there are many cures for any sort of diseases this days so it is just seen as a normal sickness, just naturally.

In Western Europe, Christianity was present as far north as Scotland, but it didn't go beyond the Rhine in the east, which was the border between the Roman empire and Germanic tribes before it fell.
