Life in Medieval Europe was very hard for most people. However, the people believed that if you followed certain steps you could get into heaven where everything was great. Those steps were called the Sacraments.
The Sacraments:
- Baptism
- Confirmation
- Marriage
- Penance
- Communion
- Taking Care of the Sick
- Holy Orders
Some of these like baptism and confirmation you did only once in your life. Some like penance and communion you did frequently. In medieval times, the church charged people for each of the sacraments. The charge might be payment in money or doing something to bring glory to god.
