Religious Customs

When Elizabeth became Queen in the November of 1558, it was widely believed that she would restore the Protestant faith in England. Mary's persecution of Protestants had done much damage to the standing of Catholicism in England, and the number of Protestants in the country was steadily increasing. Although Elizabeth had adhered to the Catholic faith during her sister's reign, she had been raised a Protestant, and was committed to that faith. Elizabeth's religious views were remarkably tolerant for the age in which she lived. Research religious customs and post your findings.

  15. The main religions in Elizabethan era were Catholic and Protestant. And failure to adhere the 'favored' religion depending on where you live would often lead to death. Queen Mary (Elizabeth's sister) would kill anyone who had beliefs other than hers hence her nickname Bloody Mary.
