 What was the renaissance ?
•The word “Renaissance” means rebirth in Latin
•It was a fervent period of European cultural, artistic,
political and economic rebirth.
•It was a period of change that started in Florence,
Italy between the 14th to 17th centuries and spread
across the entire Europe
•People started the promotion and the discovery of
new classical philosophy, literature and art.
Context:
•During this period, the church was involved in
indulging in inappropriate practices and bribery, and
started other greedy practices such as:
1. •Collecting money for services
The people started questioning the
church and their ways of doing things,
they wanted a more reliable and
logical source of information,
governing and answers to the
questions about life, this led to people
resorting to science, literature, and
technology, this was one of the main
reasons for the start of the renaissance
era.

2. •Deluding people saying if they gave money to the church

they would live a hundred years
