    Empire and the beginning of the modern age

    renounces worldly pursuits to devote oneself fully to spiritual work.
    • Monastic life plays an important role in many Christian churches,
    especially in the Catholic and Orthodox traditions
    • Similar forms of religious life also exist in other faiths, most notably
    in Buddhism, but also in Hinduism and Jainism
    • Women pursuing a monastic life are generally called nuns, while
    monastic men are called monks.

    • Many monks and nuns live in monasteries to stay away from the
    secular world. The way of addressing monastics differs between the
    Christian traditions

    and cared for the sick. By 1500 some were closed down by Henry
    VII and sold them.
