I learned that Innocent was married and then his wife died and he became a monk. He also translated the Bible into Unagan.
where did people get the word monk from
It has it’s origins in Greek. Monastery comes from the Greek “monazein” which means to live alone. and Monk comes from the Greek Monachos meaning “solitary.”
