Medieval European society was largely dominated by Christianity, mainly starting through the monasteries.  The monasteries served as a repository and place of learning, and as missionaries to the barbarian tribes.  They were also critical to early development of the economy, serving as a form of bank and focal point for the development of towns, and as safe places for merchants and travelers to stay on their journeys.\n\nLater on the Church was well integrated into the feudal system that controlled society for close to a thousand years.  Almost all of the art, and most of the architecture, was religious in nature.  The development of the university grew out of the seminary system.\n\nThe Church also supported the civil government by approving of various Kings and leaders.  The civil government in turn promised to protect the Church.\n\nBasically there is no part of medieval society that wasn't significantly affected by christianity.

It felt like spring after a very long winter. Like the renaissance after the dark ages. The 2006 mid-terms gave me back hope for my country. After 12 years of domination by right wing religious conservative zealots, we are back to sanity.\nNow we can get to work on our problems at home and regain our respect in the world.\nYippee!!!

They called it "apoplexy" back then, and that word covered both heart attacks and strokes.  Without the technology we have now, most people didn't survive either one.

Keep in mind, this was in the times of ancient Rome.  The times were different back then, they used diff days, not as many, and the rulers adjusted the calendars as they pleased.  Translating from then to now is difficult.  But we celebrate it as close to the day we believe it happened as possible.\n-Duo

Ha Ha, nice question.   It is interesting how we consider a lot actions done in biblical stories to be rational at the time, but if it was now we would consider these people lunatics.

It was probably around back then.   There wasn't as many visions as you want to believe.\nAll visions are divinely inspired.
