Picture
Religion and spirituality were more integrated into the daily lives of people within the 12th century than they are today.  Religious ceremonies marked the changing of the seasons as well as key moments in the cycle of life. 
​
People would often retreat to religious life at the end of their days to find refuge from strife and a chance to atone for misdeeds before their death.
