"Look up there," Marta said and turned her head towards the mostly blue sky. "Kristus is moving the clouds."
Kristus is how they refer to Jesus in these parts. And I remember that Marta is spending some time in the company of religious people. Her teacher has some theological training. I think she belongs to a liberal church, the equivalent of Unitarians in the US. Marta's school is also near a church, and she sees the nuns on a daily basis. She yells out to them, and they smile and wave.
I'm not really religious myself. When I was younger I might have had a more negative view of conventional religion. Now, I think it's nice. Quaint. And when Marta says hi to the nuns or tells me that she thinks Kristus is moving the clouds, I feel happy.

This was very sweet..I am happy that she has some religion.
Will you let her make her 1st communion when she is 7 years old in the RC Church...or go the way of the Episcopal Church and wait for 13 years old...or... ?
We have not really discussed it. I personally did not think any communion is needed but I am open, I just had not thought about it.
As you know I am happy with what ever you do .. I think Justin will remember that because I wasn't very traditional about religion he felt that I didn't give him a church when other children had a church that they went to..
I gave him one but then he became disinterested.. figures... : )
