In the 1300s, a cultural movement called the Renaissance spread through Europe. This movement led to an interest in the works of the Greeks and the Romans. Renaissance thinkers were concerned about earthly life. They did not think about it as a preparation for life after death. The Renaissance also focused on the importance of the individual. Artists focused on capturing individual character. Explorers went out to find new lands. Merchants took many risks to gain huge wealth.

Welcome to The Renaissance (Lyrics)
War of the roses, Chaucer's tales The brutal feudal system Holy crusades, Bubonic plague Can't say that we've really missed 'em So dark and barbaric, so dull and mundane That was so Middle Ages That was so... Charlemagne Welcome to the Renaissance With poets, painters, and bon vivants And merry minstrels Who stroll the streets of London A strummin' the lutes In puffy pants and pointy leather boots! Welcome to the Renaissance Where we ooh and aah you with ambiance We're so progressive The latest and the greatest We bring it to you with much ado Welcome to the Renaissance Where everything is new Here we've made advances in the sciences We have the latest gadgets and appliances Our mugs are made of pewter Our houses all are Tudor Decorated with a modern flair See us in our petticoats and farthingales Our trendy beards we trim to look like swallow tails We're called Elizabethans They're all a bunch of heathens Heathens heading straight for you know where While witches are burning and Wars tend to start We bring you moments of culture And art Culture and art... Welcome to the Renaissance Well our printing press has the fancy fonts That's right we're fancy And very literary, theatrical, too It's what we do Welcome to the Renaissance Where everything is new! Hey look it's Francis Bacon with a chicken What's he makin'? Well, I think he's found a way of freezing meat That's new!

Renaissance means REBIRTH. So what were we being reborn for? -or from?
During the Middle Ages, few scholars questioned beliefs that had been long held. Europeans based their ideas on what ancient Greeks and Romans believed or on the Bible. People still thought that the earth was the center of the universe. They believed that the sun, moon, other planets, and stars moved around it. In the mid-1500s, attitudes began to change. Scholars started what is called the Scientific Revolution. It was a new way of thinking about the natural world. It was based on careful observation and the willingness to question old beliefs.

This questioning caused the Reformation. The Reformation was a protest movement against the power of the Church. It started out as a call for reform. It ended up producing a new division of Christianity— Protestantism.
