It is good that the children were allowed to hold the Gospel and the cross in their hands. My son at the same age also went on a similar excursion and then spent the whole evening at home asking why the books in the church were so heavy. Well done for doing such things for preschoolers.

Yes, heavy books in the church always surprise children. My grandson also once held the Gospel and then at home tried to find the same thick cover in our regular Bible. It is good that the father allows the children to touch, it is remembered for a long time.

Yes, I remember my 5-year-old grandson holding a Bible on a similar visit to the neighborhood church and marveling at how heavy it was. He asked all evening why it wasn't like our Bible at home. It's good that Father Dimitrie allows them to touch these things, it remains in the mind.

Yes, I also saw my niece marveling at the weight of the book when she held it in her hand at our church in Chisinau. Father Dimitrie is doing well to let them touch, that's how they really learn, not just from words. Have you taken her on such visits before?

Yes, my grandson at the age of five was also surprised at how difficult it is to raise the Gospel. After that excursion in Odesa, he then asked me for a whole week to show me where there is "gold on the root" in our home Bible. It's good that Father Dimitriy gives the children something to hold, it's really memorable.
