Abbey, group of buildings housing a monastery or convent, centered on an abbey church or cathedral, and under the direction of an abbot or abbess. In this sense, an abbey consists of a complex of buildings serving the needs of a self-contained religious community.
A large medieval abbey had over 450 monks, but a more typical abbey had around 100 permanent inhabitants. The main idea of monasticism was that life in a place of quiet and relative solitude would better aid understanding of and permit greater proximity to God.
An abbey (from Latin abbatia, derived from Syriac abba, "father"), is a Christian monastery or convent, under the government of an abbot or an abbess, who serves as the spiritual father or mother of the community.
