Hi kids!
The Church was extremely important for the people in medieval Europe, as we have

already seen. This video shows the importance of the Church in those times.

Now, after watching the video, answer the following questions:

1) Why was the Church so important?

2) How was it supported?

3) Why did people give money to the Church?

4) Was the building of a cathedral a simple task? Why?

5) Why were cathedrals decorated with stained windows depicting religious stories?


Watch again the images of cathedrals.

What was, in your opinion, the importance of having a cathedral in a certain place?
