PLEASE HELP TIMED EXAM !! why did festivals have such an important social impact on people during the middle ages ?

Festivals were a lot of fun and people looked forward to them. They served a purpose besides relaxation. They reminded people of the importance of the church and of nature, especially nature as it related to the production of food. The nobles paid the church for the festivals

Explanation:

In the middle ages, there was no such thing as vacations. Instead, the festivals were held and were celebrated by taking a day off. Through these festival's food, stories, art, and conversation were discussed making it a major cultural event. Additionally, festivals were used to celebrate pagan and religious events.

explanation: we can only guess at how our actions may be perceived in the future. doing something really big like killing lots of people, saving lots of people, affecting the lives of lots of people is a sure fire way of being remembered in historical records. we can also make a difference in the history records by being a small influence on something bigger, whether that is as a civil servant, scientist or artist.

of course you could argue that we all affect history just as tiny cogs in a   bigger machine.

if you mean how do people influence our opinions of things which have already happened, then simply by writing a book which looks at things form a different perspective and trying to convince people that this perspective is more accurate or truthful. people do it all the time i.e. richard the third was a terrible or was he? plenty would disagree, it's just that their views aren't the most widely known.n:
