= = =4. Summary= while reserching about monks i learned that they can only live by themselves or with other monks. a monk is a person who practices religous asceticism. in the eastern orthodax, Oriental orthodax and the eastern cathlic church monasticism is a more common life style than in the roman cathlic church. Orthodax monastic seperate themselves from the world in order to pray unceasingly for the world. the process of becoming a monk is slow, the vows are considerd a life long commitment to god. monastic life came to an abrupt end when king henrey the VIII broke from the roman catholic chruch. while many monks where executed some fled to contenental european monistaries and continued their monastic life. most of the communities where self supporting, monks days where seperated into three parts thats what a monks day was like, so now i wont complane about going to school.
 * 1) communal worship
 * 2) hard manual labor
