St. Teophan says we shouldn’t mourn and cry much when someone dies; I believe the same thing, because the man who died will have a much better life over there, than us. The dead man should be the one to cry for us, because he’s left us here, in a bad situation compared to them. (Adrian IONIŢĂ, 4th grade, 10 years and 4 months)

Religion is important because it is the mind of the good man. (Teodor ZAICA, 2nd grade, 8 years and a month)
