What roles did monasteries serve in medieval society and how did they help in the spread of Christianity across western Europe?

Here are several roles of monasteries in spreading Christianity:

- Copying religious manuscripts

- Creating Religious Artworks

- Missionaries

Explanation:

- Copying religious manuscripts

Before the printing press were invented, people didn't have a good way to mass produce reading materials. Members of monasteries manually rewrite a lot of copy from the holy bible so a lot of people could have access to it.

- Creating Religious Artworks

They created many artworks that serve as either aesthetical purpose  (usually being placed on places like churches or museums) or story telling purpose (like some sort of pamphlets that contains some religious knowledge in it)

- Missionaries

They also often send the members of the monasteries to spread the word of gospel to other areas and directly teach the people there. Sometime, the missionaries could also be done by providing some sort of civil services for the poor.
