Anglo-Saxons were originally pagans, which means they believed in many Gods. They were later converted to Christianity with help from a monk named Augustine. Anglo-Saxons sometimes wore lucky charms called amulets and they believed these amulets would protect them from harm. During History lessons, we got the chance to make our own amulet designs from clay. We needed to carefully think about what the shape and design on our amulet would symbolise. Traditionally the amulets are made from copper, iron, silver and gold so we are going paint ours in these colours.
