Abstract

The spread of Christianity across Europe was a process that took the best part of a thousand years, from the very start of the Middle Ages when traces of Roman Christianity still remained to the fourteenth century when Christianity was introduced in Lithuania.
The study of this complex process involves the two key terms of conversion and Christianization. Conversion relates to the personal acceptance of Christianity, while Christianization is used to describe the long-term transformation of a non-Christian society into a Christian one.
