Chapter 21

Overview: 
In this chapter, Johan Huizinga talks about the "deeper significance in ordinary things".  She talks about religion in the Middle ages and how everything had a connection to God, no matter what it was.  There was "meaning and significance in everything" because God was found to be everywhere.
