Take a look at the Manual of Religion for the 1st grade (ages 7 - 8), from the official site of the patriarchate (it's with pictures):
http://patriarhia.ro/images/pdf/Invatama...clasaI.pdf
I'll translate a few things:
"THE CHURCH IS THE HOUSE OF GOD"
"THE CHURCH IS A HOLY PLACE"
"What do we learn from the Bible?
That Jesus Christ started to go, even from very young ages, to the House of His Father."
"What do we learn from the Saints?
The Holy Voivode Stephen the Great had built a lot of churches."
(btw, Stephen the Great was far from being a saint, since he was an adulterer and many other things, but he's built lots of churches)
"HOW DO I RECEIVE GOD WITHIN THE CHURCH?"
"THE HOLY LITURGY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SERVICE"
"What do we learn from the Saints?
The Saint John Golden-Mouth wrote the text of the Liturgy that is most often done in the church."
(note: What a funny name! he's a Romanian-only saint, as well)
The one with the title:
"HOW DO I RECEIVE GOD WITHIN THE CHURCH (II)"
Is the one showing the child kneeling in front of the priest, as if prepared (if we are to worry) to suck his d*ck. But this kneeling under the "lap" of the priest is a holy thing, nothing to do with sexuality... if done properly.
"WHAT DO I DO FOR MY CHURCH?"
(saying that the Church uses money to help the poor - it only says that it does, though)
"THE CHURCH NEIGHBORING MY SCHOOL
What do we attempt?
To make a folding of the church neighboring my school.
What for?
So as to familiarize ourselves with the presence inside the church."
"At the Church, Andrei and Ioana have learnt that the man who has inside his soul faith as much as a grain of mustard seed can make miracles."
"THE HOLY APOSTLES BELIEVED THAT LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD"
"The holy apostle Andrei is the protector of Romania."
"The holy Joseph the New had prayed for an ill man, and God listened to his prayer and healed him" - (about the power of prayer) - prayers heal, not medics & medicine & technology & etc.
"A. Jesus Christ was born at:
a) 6th of December
b) 25th of December
c) 6th of January"
LOL.
"PROJECT: ALBUM, "THE BIRTH OF THE LORD"
...
What for?
...
So as to value the local traditions related to the Birth of the Lord."
"THE CODE OF GOOD MANNERS REGARDING THE SALUTE OF THE CHRISTIANS AT THE HOLY EASTER
...
What for?
To understand the importance of the salutation within the human relations.
To learn the rules of the pascal salutation.
To learn the greeting and the attitude during the salutation.
To understand the importance of the pascal salutation to the life of the christian."
