I learned more about the Sacraments from Dr. Nizzahon than from my high school religion teachers. Also yes to the more detailed explanations of Exempla please :)
I would love to hear more about exempla, mainly because I love hearing people discuss their areas of expertise. Generally speaking, whichever topics you feel particularly qualified to talk about are the ones I most want to hear. Also, I have a fun top ten idea: top 10 unanswered questions about the Middle Ages. Basically the biggest things from that time period that scholars wish they had more information on.
Been really enjoying this channel! I grew up Catholic so this was the first video that really hit close to home for me, some truly fascinating stuff here I had no idea about. Great work, I admire the clear dedication and enthusiasm :)
I've been using this for a fantasy and history based story with my friends, and needed to research as one of MY characters is a priestess, and her main focus is being highly tied into the church and needed this BADLY DFSDFJ
As a devout atheist it's very interesting to learn more about religion in the past and the ways it has influenced society today. There are examples of wooden churches surviving to this day, mainly the Norwegian stave churches although these are likely very different from the way wooden churches were built in the rest of Europe.
@@NizzahonHistory The older ones like the one at Urnes date from the 12th century. Then again there is a question as to how much of the original building survived the harsh northern wheather.
Would you consider a video on how medieval Christians responded to conversion into the religion? We hear a lot about forceful conversations in the era and beyond, but not as much about more genuine ones. Were they treated differently? Would they have to do the same sacraments as children born into a Christian family?
Conversion is one of my areas of expertise, so I will definitely do it at some point. They were often treated differently to some degree, especially Jews, who were not always viewed as authentic converts, but that was more of societal discrimination. What one actually does in church would be the same.
A very interesting video, as usual. I like the dress differently for MTG an history videos. It has a Dr. Jacob and Mr. Nizzahon vibe to it. Yes, I would like a full video on exempla! Also - a topic request. Would you make a video on the topic of Europe in the middle ages as seen through the eyes of Benjamin of Tudela? Also also, a question - as a historian, basically someone who explores the lore of our world and as a MTG enthusiast, how come you don't care at all about the lore of MTG (as you stated before, I think)?
Doing a video on Jewish travelers and their memoirs more generally would be pretty interesting! I care a little bit about Magic's lore, but yeah, not very much. There's a pretty big difference between lore for a game and history. With history, I actually live in a world that was shaped by it. With Magic, not so much. It is basically just (largely sub-par) modern literature, something I don't have much interest in generally.
@@NizzahonHistory I figured that would be hard to do. I will just picture Church in the catacombs :) This is totally off subject and I am not sure if you are a Sci-Fi fan. Any talk of doctrine always reminds me of Season 3 episode 23 of Star Trek Voyager - Distant Origin. It is such a good episode and you do not need to follow the series to appreciate. All you need to know is Voyager is far from earth. They did a good job of talking about doctrine and heresy in a future time.
A silly question- I know clerical marriage was a pretty big controversy. Did clerical matrimony ceremonies have any unique characteristics or were they just like any other?
So, clerical marriage wasn't a thing any more after 1215, when the Sacraments were officially codified. Pope Gregory VII and other 11th-century reformers finally took a harsh stance against it. So, the short answer is, we don't know for sure, since the Sacrament of Matrimony wasn't officially established until after clerical marriage had (mostly) been stamped out. If I had to guess, though, I'd say that the ceremony was the same when clerical marriage did happen.
i am a brit and love old english churches. i can tell you this much unless you were aristocracy or landed gentry then you would not have got into a medieval church at best you would have been huddling outside in the rain near the door.
@@ricdavid7476 I am aware of family pews being purchased so I am guessing there was crowding around the back. I'm also guessing they still had to have been allowed to enter the church at the minimum for Eucharist.
As someone who as a child went to Catholic school, I must say you explained the sacraments in a very clear and concise manner.
Thanks!
Your vids are very quickly becoming one of my favorite parts of the week!
Glad to hear it!
:)
A lot of this material was already familiar to me (Protestant Clergy here), but I still enjoyed it! Well presented! And the Exempla was enjoyable!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Both of your channels are so great! I’d love a deep dive on exempla at some point.
I learned more about the Sacraments from Dr. Nizzahon than from my high school religion teachers.
Also yes to the more detailed explanations of Exempla please :)
To be fair, your high school religion teachers were probably talking about modern Sacraments, and not everything's the same!
@@NizzahonHistory hmm a fair point!

Fantastic content, I love these uploads in the evening here
Please do more on exemplas, thanks for all the great videos.
Love your content, keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
Pre reformation Europe was an interesting place, there’s so many angles to take when analyzing all of it
I enjoyed &learned a lot! Thanks so much!
Looking sharp there, Nizzahon
Thanks. It made me wonder about what happened in medieval synagogues.
Peasants got one point for confession, two points for communion.
Your videos have gotten me back into age of empires II/III… they’re too good!
Love the videos!!
Thank you!!
2 of my favourite things, magic and history? Havent watched yet but i have no doubt i'll like it. Greetings from germany!

Exempla looked awesome

Stave churches are all from the sixteenth century or later.

I have 0 interest in religion but from an historical perspective (and with your great pacing) it's captivating

Could you do a video on Mass during the Apostolic age? The first 2 centuries of Christianity is fascinating.
We don't know much about it, so that's tough to do.

More exempla: YES PLEASE
Seconded.

@@NizzahonHistory makes sense. Thanks!!!
One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church 🕊️🇻🇦❤️
Hi everyone, I'm Nizzahon
The Shroud of Turin is stained with the blood of Our Lord so I wonder would that not be a first class relic?
Mythic Rare for sure
i am a brit and love old english churches. i can tell you this much unless you were aristocracy or landed gentry then you would not have got into a medieval church at best you would have been huddling outside in the rain near the door.
Is there good evidence for that during this period?
@@apjapki I doubt it. People just say wherever they want about “medieval times”
@@apjapki look at the parish records of the churches. The pews used to be bough by the wealthy local families form them to sit in.
@William Newell whatever you want to call the seating the interior of the churches were not for the poor .
@@ricdavid7476 I am aware of family pews being purchased so I am guessing there was crowding around the back. I'm also guessing they still had to have been allowed to enter the church at the minimum for Eucharist.
How did you mispronounce your name so badly in the intro? lol XD
That is not the sort of thing I thought an exemplar would be. ;)
