Anglo-Saxon Christianity

Anglo-Saxon Christianity refers to the Christian faith practiced by the Anglo-Saxons, who inhabited parts of what is now England from around the 5th to 11th centuries. Introduced through missionaries like St. Augustine in 597 AD, it blended Latin traditions with local customs. Over time, it shaped laws, art, and culture, leading to the establishment of churches and monasteries. This period was marked by efforts to convert pagan beliefs to Christianity, and despite variations, it formed the foundation of medieval English Christianity, influencing religious practices and societal values for centuries.
