Monasticism, or the practice of living as a monk, dates back to the early days of Christianity in the 3rd century AD. Monks were known to live in monasteries or communities dedicated to prayer, meditation, and service.
Some types of monks include Benedictine monks, Franciscan monks, and Trappist monks. Each type of monk belongs to a different religious order with its own set of customs, practices, and rules.
Augustinian monks typically wear black habits with a white tunic and scapular. Sometimes they also wear a white or black cincture around the waist.
The monks carried the body of Saint Cuthbert for approximately seven years during their journey through Northumbria, after fleeing Lindisfarne due to Viking raids.
Benedictine monks were called black monks because of the color of their traditional black robes or habits. The term "black monks" was used to distinguish them from the Cistercian monks, who wore white robes and were known as the "white monks."
There is no known special name for a group of monks. A monk is a singular term and when multiple monks are present an "s" is added to make the word monk plural which is monks.
Monks were around for every single year of the Medieval Age. There were also monks in late Roman times, and there are still monks in modern times. Monks have been around for a good long while, and not all of them were Medieval. * The Medieval Age lasted from the 5th Century to the 15th.
