Christian was a monk in a medieval monastery. When he was a boy he really wanted to become a monk. So he joined the monastery as a young boy and was called a novice. He had to see if the life suited him and had to learn the rules. The abbot thought he made a good monk so he let Christian take his solemn vows, which were chastity, poverty and obedience. Christian then got his hair cut into a tonsure. Everyday Christian and the other monks wake up at 3am, this is when the day begins. At 3am they went to the church to sing the matins. At 4-6am he would have a brief sleep. At 7am he ate breakfast in strict silence. At 8-9.30am he worked in the fields or the library. At 10am he went to the High mass. From 11am-2pm he worked again. At 2pm
