Monks can be found in a variety of religions such as Christianism, Buddhism, or Hinduism but are mainly known in the Christian context especially because during the Middle Ages monks and monastery were essential for the power of church and the preservation of documents as they wrote manuscripts to create copies of religious books and even if nowadays this is not used it is quite common monks in every religion study and read religious scriptures or text and even write about them.
