Monks, Nuns, and Mendicants


  • Monks and nuns took vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience.  They spent their lives in work, study, and prayer, living in separate communities called monasteries and convents.
  • Friars did not shut themselves off from the rest of the world.  They traveled among ordinary people to preach.
