We just learned about the Icons.
Another part of early Christianity is the rule of King Charlemagne, also known as Charles I or Charles the Great.
Around 770 AD a person named Charlemagne was the king over a lot of parts of Europe, like France, Germany and Italy.
There were a lot of people in those times fighting over who should be king or emperor, so Pope Leo III who was the head of the church in Rome told everyone to follow Charlemagne and that he should be the ruler over everyone else.
Charles loved reading, writing and music, so he helped make schools for people to learn and read the books of the Bible.
He also sent people to Rome to learn how to sing and they came back to the schools to teach people how to sing the Psalms of the Bible.
A lot of the writings of the Bible were in Latin or Greek, so Charles told people to make copies of them in other languages.
This made it so that everyone could read the Bible and learn about God and Jesus themselves.
