Ate Sarah report St. Basil the great of Cappadacia he studied literature at home and his sister Macrina
influence him the monastic life. He visited and founded the monasteries, he also become an assistant of
Eusebius. In his achievement he was able to founded monasteries, help the poor during famine, and
wrote the longer rules and shorter rules that made him known. The main idea about the crusades is that
they attempt to gain christian control of the holy land they also have some goals.
Literature became one in my list as my favorite habit and I enjoy doing it. Though it was a little bit
frustrating but I want to learn more about it. It is really good to hear that someone like Basil the great
was able to help the poor. Also I was curious of what are the rules that he had done that made it a
contribution to church history. While I'm reading the crusades I appreciated how they valued the place
of Jerusalem and holy land where Jesus Christ was crucified that they are willing to take it away from
Muslim. I cant imagine how the Muslim persecuted the christian because how cruel they are when they
caught you are a christian.
My supervisor last internship is a missionary in Muslim area and she told us a lot of story about the
Muslim and her life there. I heard about there marriage thingy that if the women is virgin they will show
the clothe they have used during honeymoon. Also the men has the privilege to have at least five wife or
more than that if you could afford to sustain them. I also heard that she was almost victim of raped, she
said that you have to wear long skirt that will cover your body to avoid the men to arouse. Muslim is the
second strongest religion I know and are very firm in their faith. But I hope I have the courage to share a
Muslim someday.
